R E L’s new EP Medicine is a deeply personal reflection on the journey of self-love and healing. Across its three tracks, she fuses rich and soulful melodies with a raw and honest approach to songwriting that’s rare in today’s music landscape.
From the start, R E L’s distinctive “evocapop” sound creates an inviting space for reflection. The music is soft yet powerful, with a warmth that perfectly complements the themes of release, healing, and hope. As she navigates the complexities of self-acceptance, her voice is smooth, soulful, and often ethereal as it guides one through the ups and downs of emotional vulnerability. Each track feels like a conversation, as though she’s offering a piece of herself with every note.
What makes Medicine particularly compelling is its ability to balance introspection with a sense of universality. The lyrics tap into the shared experience of struggling with self-doubt and finding the strength to embrace one’s own worth. R E L’s vulnerability is palpable, but there’s a quiet confidence that emerges as she explores the healing process. In a world often dominated by polished, tech-driven sounds, this EP feels refreshingly organic and grounded, thanks to its natural beauty and live-recorded moments.
Authentic and emotionally deep, Medicine is a breath of fresh air. It’s clear R E L is continuing to carve a unique path, one that invites others to reflect, heal, and, ultimately, love themselves more fully.
