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.

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.

about
This whole album, from a lyrical standpoint, is an account of my own depression, relationship issues and social observations I’ve made over the past year and a half. I guess this joint is the intro to all that, the intro to my crazy haha. I’ll end up saying this after every song, so let’s just get it out of the way now. Sensible J is *crazy for this one Rick. - Remi
This beat started off on the ol' trusty Korg Z1. The dark synth sound was the beginning, played some live drums, then Mr Simon Mavin came thru with a bunch of his crazy keyboards, 3 secs later, fleshed out the beat with his Roland Paraphonic RS 505. Some of it sounds like some fly-ass birds tweeting some melodies... I'll say this a couple of times…. He a genius on the keys, and a gentleman. - Sensible J
