Raquel ft: Kofi - Angel (Single)

Get ready to be captivated by the enchanting melodies of Raquel, a rising star hailing from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, who just released her debut single, "Angel," featuring Kofi. Raquel is making her mark on the music scene with her emotive sound and powerful storytelling.

Her debut single, "Angel," tells a poignant story of a person finding the strength to leave a relationship that no longer serves them. It explores the complexities of being someone's "angel" while realising that it's time to move on.

“It’s the portrayal of when you’re nothing but an angel to the person you’re with, but they didn’t always appreciate how good you treated them,” Raquel says. “After you leave because of their actions, they portray you as the bad guy. You have to remind them that no, you’re not the ‘bad guy,’ but you’re not ‘their angel’ anymore.”

“You feel sorry for how their love for you encompasses their soul, and without you now they feel empty; but, you remind them that you told them before that one day you’d leave if they didn’t change their ways, and now leaving them brought out the savage side in you that they may have deserved all along,” she continues.

The message of the song is evident throughout the single. It’s a track that resonates with many, which is the essence of Raquel’s goal through making music. Describing her sound in her own words, Raquel explains that she aims to create music that not only makes you want to move and dance but also evokes powerful emotions.

“Whether it's empowerment, melancholy, or euphoria — my goal is to make my listeners feel something unique each time," she shares. Her music is characterized by wavering tones, fluctuating vocal ranges, and emotive rifts, creating a mesmerizing experience for her audience.
