Emerging Californian songwriter Sunny Rae Keller delivers something truly special with ‘Carry You On’, a beautifully moving new single that offers an exciting first glimpse into her forthcoming debut album ‘Pocket’.
The new track pairs delicate fingerpicked guitar with subtle rhythms and her wonderfully expressive vocals, creating a warm folk sound that feels intimate while gradually opening into something far bigger. Written during a residency at Château Orquevaux in France, ‘Carry You On’ draws from conversations with the artist’s mother and the extraordinary family history connecting several generations of women.
Motherhood, caregiving and memory sit at its heart, but she finds tremendous hope within those subjects. Inspired by her mother, adoptive grandmother and the biological grandmother she never met, she celebrates the idea that love can be inherited through kindness, sacrifice and the countless ways people shape one another.
Now living between Paris and Los Angeles, Sunny Rae Keller looks increasingly like a fascinating new voice in contemporary folk. Tender without becoming overly sentimental and deeply personal without losing its universal appeal, ‘Carry You On’ is a stunning introduction to her forthcoming full-length.
