Bare Sugar is a cohesive collection of genre-bending synths and free-flowing experimentation that illustrate Ragz’s ability to excel both in front of the mic and behind the boards. The 14-track body of work is the epitome of Black excellence and sees the Ivor Novello nominee proudly take his seat at the table as one of the most assured and refined artists in the alternative R&B scene. Always evolving, Ragz demonstrates himself as a singer-songwriter, rapper and producer that can delicately finesse his sound to incorporate his eclectic taste and love for electronic, indie, jazz, soul and rap music into his unique, futuristic yet accessible sound. He adds, “with this album it was important for me to dive even deeper into myself, it's probably the most honest sound I've ever made. I had to block out all the noise, it wasn't easy but I didn't see my career elevating unless the sound did. On planet earth we call this 'Excessive Luxury Sound'. A gift that keeps giving, use it to heal, elevate & free yourself. You're very welcome.”
