Rebekka Louise ‘Shamie Is An Old Friend’ – out now!
The very intimate and experimental first album “Shame Is An Old Friend,” by rising experimental pop sensation Rebekka Louise, was just published. What started as a master’s thesis has grown into a comprehensive investigation of mental health and its effects on both internal and exterior reality. This album, which has just been made available to the public, is sure to enthral listeners with its open examination of the difficulties encountered by those dealing with mental health issues as well as the journey of their loved ones.
She emphasises the need for honest and unvarnished lyrical expression. She does this by fusing complex synthesisers with acoustic sounds to create a close connection between the music and its message. In addition to drawing influence from musicians like Aurora, Maria Mena, The Neighbourhood, Billie Eilish, and Madison Beer, the album has eight tracks with honest, unadulterated lyrics. It also explores electronica enhanced with real string parts. Louise stretched the limits of digital instrumentation to produce a distinctive sound for her recordings, which were mostly recorded in her own room with a few tracks recorded in London’s Tileyard Studios.
Audiences are able to fully enjoy the breadth and depth of Rebekka Louise’s creative abilities. The debut song, “Shame Is An Old Friend,” is hauntingly lovely and raises the standard for what this gifted musician is capable of.
