Floating and figuring out life, Peri Rae takes us on a warm winding path to understanding her journey to adolescence. The 5 tracks revolve around her folk pop tendencies, a blissful bellow from Peri Rae.
With everyone tuning in to be serenaded by this heaven sent angel, she has already captured the ears of BBC Introducing and even become one of their 'One to Watch' artists.
“The songs on this EP are an accumulation of my life until now, the earliest one I wrote at 15. Sharing this with the world feels like sharing the most vulnerable parts of me and I hope the songs help heal and soothe people the way they did for me when I created them.”

Lyrically presenting her stunning soundscape, 'Fair Enough' opens the EP with a delicate guitar fingerpicking fascination. Speaking on the story behind the track, Peri explains “’Fair Enough’ was inspired by a date gone wrong. I fell in love with a stranger that came into the coffee shop I worked at, we went on a date and it ended up being awful and all he said was ‘fair enough’ to everything I would say. The story of this romance was followed by over 3 million viewers on TikTok and the whole EP was born off the back of it.”
The next song 'In Between' is a more upbeat sound, gradually building up momentum with drums, it does not fail to be a toe-tapping track. Followed by 'Wildflower', a more country feeling sound, we follow a story of love and the complexities that come with being young. Focusing on Peri's felicitous vocals at the front of the track, it feels as if we float away with the fairies.
The last two tracks on the EP are 'The High Life' and 'Little Steps'. Coating emotions with melodies, she expresses the concerns surrounding 'being the best' and sometimes being content with where you are right now is more powerful than you think.
