Irene Rae - The Light Game
LCM Song Of The Day: ‘The Light Game’ - Irene Rae
Our featured song today is the title track from UK singer-songwriter Irene Rae’s brand new album, which set for release on 9th July 2019. Irene’s next London date will be at The Cavern, Raynes Park on July 24th.
The album features 10 original tracks that focus on love and the insecurity that comes hand in hand with this emotion, the ebb and flow of friends and Rae’s viewpoint on news stories such as the prominent #metoo movement. The band features some of today’s most sort after musicians: Stuart Dixon (Eddie Floyd/Geno Washington) on guitar, Roger Inniss (Chaka Khan/Laurence Jones) on bass, John Bowman (Jinja/Martine Wren) on piano and Luke Szoltysek (DDay Darlings) on drums. Recorded at Crescent Records Studios, Swindon, by Stuart Dixon and produced by both Stuart Dixon and Roger Inniss.
Irene Rae has toured the UK as a solo artist with three EPs and a solo album under her belt and more recently accompanied by her band, who feature on the 2015 EP ‘Hidden Secret’. She was touted as ‘’one to watch’’ during the tour of Hidden Secret with a four-star rating and reviews such as a ‘’strong voice and sophisticated song writing’’ from R2R Magazine. Some memorable moments include playing support to Midge Ure, Hazel O'Connor, John Power, The Levellers (acoustic), Owen Paul and Declan Bennett.
The Light Game will be launched during a UK Tour in July/August 2019 of Irene Rae and her band – some venues hosting are The Stahl Theatre, The Stamford Arts Centre, The Cavern, The Bear Club and many more dates being added daily.
