The ‘Hear Me’ EP by Rae Stewart tells of the emotions, trials and tribulations in love. Her voice has a versatile range of raw tones, smooth sweetness and snappy flows. So, can you feel my groove? ‘Be Down’ is a highlight with a gorgeous tone of the vocals against a chilled production, the hook is catchy and the rhythm has you swaying. ‘Fake Love’ brings despair in the pained voice together with a gentle piano and twinkles which offset the sombre mood. Your energy is dirty. ‘Dangerous’ has an incredible main section showing passion and a fiery spirit, the verses are very rough and dark. Indecisive, if I really want you. ‘Intwine’ has a lovely harmony with soft vocals and a light melody. Overall, this is a really interesting EP where her confidence and strength rises throughout each test of the heart.
Mancunian singer-songwriter Rae Stewart has released her EP ‘Hear Me’, featuring artfully mixed soulful vocals with 90’s R&B and hip hop beats. The EP presents Rae’s versatility as an artist and showcases her unique Destiny’s Child meets Missy Elliot sound. In Rae’s own words, the release is, “a big accomplishment for me, as I share some personal feelings of what I've been through in life, realness only! I hope you love it as much as I do.”
‘Hear Me’ follows a history of success for Rae. Her single ‘Be Down’ landed a place in the top 30 on Music Week’s Pop/Commercial Chart and ‘Fake Love’ earned the title of DJ Targets Unsigned Artist Song of The Week on his Tuesday evening show. Rae is a unique artist whose talents have begun to blossom throughout the past months, with the added support of her creative team at Northside Media and also the talents of producer’s Triple B and Manze.

By the age of 18 she had already sang and performed with a group called Venus alongside two other girls from Manchester.
