Pulled from her second album, the 2018 release “Someone Out There”, Rae begins the tune by sweet talking her guy into moving past idle conversation, and into something more physical. As the song progresses, she becomes more frank with her request, though she always stays polite and clever as she punctuates her rising desire. And with the line...
“Boy you lock and you load, deliver me all of your loving…”
She makes it abundantly clear that she's craving that physical connection with her guy. You know, in case there was any doubt.
Musically the song features elements of new wave, industrial, and pop/rock, and interestingly enough, more than a little influence from the electronic world music sounds of 90’s hit makers Deep Forest (“Sweet Lullaby”) and new age world beat act Enigma (“Sadeness (Part 1)”, “Return to Innocence”).
I was introduced to this tune via a Yahoo article late last year, and I instantly fell in love with Rae’s lovely, yet somewhat emotionally distant vocals, and the layered intensity as the music gradually builds, as heard in the primal beats, the ascending trills, and Rae’s adlibs. “Lower…” culminates in a rather mystical musical depiction of release, then closes as she essentially whispers the song’s opening verse and title one final time. Whew… is it getting hot in here?
Simply stated, ”Lower…” is a very mature, sensual, and beautiful pop song that deserves to be heard. Check it out below… I think we’ll be hearing a lot more from Ms. Morris in the years to come!
