“Raie is one of life’s trip-me-up revelations. A purveyor of pin-me-to-the wall, beautiful life-enhancing soul music. A sweet, certain surprise… There’s a host of internationally-recognised musicians backing Raie on this EP – from guitarist Elliott Randall (ex-Doobie Brother), to Jon Klein (ex- Siouxie and the Banshees) help move things along, but the fact of the matter is that Raie is the star - this CD is lead by her astonishing voice and incredible, lyrics. Opener ‘Wax N Wane’ is lyrically amazing - romance meets reality, in fact, the whole of the ‘Earthbound’ CD is an unsettling mixture of sweet music, mixed with world-weary lyrics The standout title track is phenomenal – a minimalist piano-lead ballad that builds up to one of the most soul-enhancing music that you’ll ever hear. ”

“Throughout Raie’s performance she interacted with the audience, explaining each track and you could see and feel each word she sang. Raie is a performer who likes to have fun on the stage and wishes all to enjoy her music, which I did.”
