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
This is the sound of my heart being broken. It’s raw, but so are breakups. - Remi
For this song, I was trying to make a beat sound super big and raw at the same time. Chopped up a drum break, added some "crowd noise" underneath the kick and snare to make it seem bigger, then hopped on a $15 Yamaha keyboard Rem scored at an OP Shop in Oakleigh. Put some emotional bass playing down to tug at the heart strings, THEN, Simon Mavin came thru again with his textures and layered the joint up! Thank you also to my sister Syreneyiscreamy, the most effortless singer I've ever heard (her voice can fit on any type of track), whose voice comes in the chorus doing the crazy stuff over mine and Rem's "laaaa la la la's". Love you Renes xo - Sensible J
