Rae Morris - In the Wild

Concept albums these days are few and far between. But Rae Morris isn’t your standard musician. She’s unique. That fact was evident after she dazzled her way into our hearts with one of our favorite songs of the year in “Running Shoes.” Her long awaited LP Rachel@Fairyland is finally out and, despite the high standards set with a few excellent pre-release singles, the record manages to live up to both our grand expectations and its name. From cinematic start to colossal finish, Morris propels the listener into her meticulously crafted world - a world that’s based on a uniquely personal vision. And, in doing so, the experience of the listener changes from passive to emphatically interactive. Morris couldn’t have closed the show out with a more fitting song than today’s featured “In the Wild.” It’s a dark, whimsical journey within a journey - and one that leaves you feeling as though you’ve somehow come full circle from the 42 or so minutes prior. So, if you’ve got the time to spare - make the best use of it and take yourself on the grand adventure Morris has dreamt up and translated into sound.
