Loop by Raven Grace

Raven Grace's trip-hop concept single, "Loop," delivers on all its promises and hypnotically cracks through your ears, excites the senses and mysteriously captivates your attention. As the sonic storyteller, Raven Grace takes you on a journey through a fusion of bouncy rhythms combined with dreamy harmonies and spooky synth melodies that float atop dark and dubby grooves and basslines. Warm, lo-fi vocals accompany all tracks with a lyricism that stimulates introspection. "Loop" is set for release on December 31st, 2022, on all major streaming platforms and stores.

Raven Grace's concept for the production of "Loop" derives from her experience of being trapped in her mental loop, undergoing continuous recurring patterns of "perfectionism," "anxiety," and "escapism." The production and songwriting process aims to tackle each issue one by one, telling her story of entering and breaking out of each loop, hoping for others to ride along. Her creative process involved leaving the sounds and vocals as unpolished as possible and running all tracks at the mastering stage through an analog tape machine to add more surprising glitches and wobbly imperfections that resonate with the concept of the single.

In the spooky opening track, "Devil In The Details," Raven Grace moves you through the perfectionism loop with which she aligns her restless inner critic with the yearning for satisfaction and relief. With the second bouncy track, "Knock It Off," Raven passes you through the anxiety loop with its nervous pulses and detuned bubbly sound effects replicating the physical state she experiences with such an attack and her soothing methods for relaxation. The final dreamy track, "Catch My Drift," invites you to drift through the escapism loop, depicting the urge to flee from reality at times, the guilt that comes with it, resulting in the search for an understanding of the root cause.
