Divas and Demons LP (CD)
Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
A hip-hop and soul release at its core, 'Divas and Demons' explores REMI’s personal experiences from the state of race issues, to the personal demons of relationship breakdowns, depression and the ongoing challenges faced as an artist. Incorporating an array of live instrumentation, found-sounds and soulful electronics – the production terrain of the record shifts towards diverse musical exploration, anchored within head-nodding, soul shaking beats.
An LP of inimitable storytelling and unique production, Divas and Demons features some of Australia’s brightest hip-hop and soul artists. Simon Mavin (Hiatus Kaiyote), Sampa Tembo (Sampa the Great), Jordan Rakei, Baro, Silent Jay, Tom Scott (Average Rap Band), Lorry (Hiatus Kaiyote), Nui Moon and Cazeaux O.S.L.O. (Man Made Mountain) all lend their talents to various moments throughout the record.
Out on House of Beige Records, 'Divas and Demons' proves again REMI’s raw brand of storytelling and deft production is set to entertain the world’s over.

about
If “D’n’D" is the intro, then "Forsaken Man" is the summary. Inspired off some bongos J sampled (and didn’t even end up using in the track), I basically spewed this joint up, breaking down (by accident) pretty much every ‘Demon' I was plagued by during the course of writing the album.
- Remi
As Rem said, this started with a bongo sample, and some live drums in the closet, then he demoed some crazy personal lyrics. I had to step up with some chords and melody that matched his fire delivery! Huge shout-out to my bro Silent Jay for blessing the Rhodes, and huge shout out to my bro Nui Moon for all the amazing percussion you hear on this joint. 2 Kings. - Sensible J
