Style: Acoustic Soul
Rachel Walker’s approach to soul music is as fascinating as her resume. The Bronx native has toured as a member of Sister Sledge, opening up for Kool & the Gang across Europe. That’s nice work if you can get it, but she’s keen to get her solo work out there into the public sphere, and understandably so.
The acoustic soul of “Vampire” is a trip; the music is beautifully minimal and admirably sparse, because it’s all about Walker’s voice. Both vocally and lyrically, she takes you on a journey, exploring the full range of emotions as she opens herself up and gets raw. “Ready 4 Love” and “Say Something” are equally compelling.
