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 little interlude kind've sums up tracks 10 to 13. I found out just how vulnerable loving another human makes you and when that love disappears how much you over react. It’s way, way, way too much. - Remi
A bunch of the music on this album came from just messing round, not trying to make beats for this project, but just having fun in the studio. On this one, I was trying to sound like the "hiphop" version of Interpol, or early Bloc Party. Just some indie guitar band stuff, but with hard drums. 2 microphones on the kit, real simple, with some drastic EQs. - Sensible J
