Jordan Rakei combines sensitive jazz singing with rhythmic hip-hop to create a timeless sound full of emotions. The New Zealand artist benefited from his extensive exposure to music from a variety of genres at a young age - from Frank Zappa and Pink Floyd to jazz and soul.

Jordan Rakei

Rakei's albums demonstrate a stylistic diversity, which is supported by his outstanding talent - he plays several instruments and has a wonderful voice. Jordan Rakei is known as a producer, singer, multi-instrumentalist and DIY innovator. The New Zealand-born, Australian-raised artist has released a number of critically acclaimed albums.

From GRAMMY winners to Mercury Prize nominees, everyone wanted to work with him. Now he appears again as an artist whose voice touches the soul and brings hidden feelings to light. With "The Loop", his fifth album, Rakei follows up his recent contract with Decca (and Verve Forecast in the USA) - a new chapter in his career that is accompanied by profound changes in his personal life. This extraordinary album is characterized not least by its impressive ambition.

With its bold production style, spectacular orchestral arrangements, catchy choruses and hypnotic beats, it tells an Odysseus-style story that winds through times of darkness and hope.
