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
I guess the best way I can describe this record, apart from a diary of depression, oppression, relationship troubles etc. is that it’s a stack of life lessons I wanted to record for myself so HOPEFULLY I can build and grow. This song is the light at the end of a long tunnel. The ‘what the fuck am I doing with my life, I need to wake up’ joint. I’ve been a fan of Tom Scott for a while now. In my opinion he’s the craziest rapper across many continents. As far as having someone understand, and fit straight into the energy of a song he’s the one. Much love you ganga.- Remi
Thank you again to Mr Simon Mavin, you've helped make this album sound exactly how I hear this stuff in my head, but have NO IDEA to get it to that spot! Much respect. The Rhodes and beautiful strings/flute is all him, I played the Fender bass, and my dad's Gibson SG guitar I stole off him, and programmed some rough drums to keep it bouncing along. PS, Tom Scott, I've never heard a clanger from you, only bangers. SMH. Peace to Lui you messy lil bitch as well. - Sensible J
