Edinburgh based, boho singer/songwriter, Rachel Alice Johnson, has stirred up a canny cauldron of magical themes with Safe Island, her torch-epic debut single.

There is a nuanced, moody, soulful nod to Amy Whitehouse along with a husky, catlike prowl to the voice that some will have  suggesting Adele as well. Well, maybe!  The echoey, weapons-grade drums add to the atmosphere. The shift of tempo works well and she modulates the timbre of her vocals with a crescendo of assured diva control. There’s some Memphis in there somewhere some people say.

Edinburgh is very shrewd at hiding its secrets – with Rachael Alice Johnson it is time to kiss and tell.

‘Safe Island’ is released on 27 May and is already gaining support from online music press and new music radio.

 

With an influence of her bohemian youth, Rachel Alice Johnson has defined her unique sound of unforgettable euphoric harmonics. Since the age of 18 Rachel has been writing original music. Over the last three years she has been steadily winning over critics with her contagiously catchy melodies. After a successful season of Edinburgh gigs at the Electric Circus, Teviot Underground, Roxy Assembly Rooms, Sneaky Pete’s and The Wee Red Bar she was selected for Creative Scotland’s ‘Verden Studios Demo Project 15’. Her next single ‘Safe Island’ is set for release on 27th May 2016.
