RANES - SOMEBODY ELSE (Single)

RANES is an emerging artist, singer, and songwriter from London, England. The talented artist is poised to make waves in the scene with his unparalleled sound and style that radiates a blissful blend of R&B influenced by many elements of hip- hop, afro soul and others. But ultimately RANES doesn’t box himself to just one sound as he pulls different elements to create tracks that feel complete.

Inspired by his life experiences, RANES seeks to create music that will uplift people around the world and motivate them. The talented musician aims to push the envelope with his sound and make a well-rounded, dynamic style. Through his lyricism, RANES highlights topics of honesty, independence, love, happiness, sadness, and a search for whatever satisfies his soul. Through this, listeners will feel comforted as his emotion-evoking melodies will take people on a musical journey. Influenced by the likes of The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, Miguel, Usher, and Brent Faiyaz, RANES is fuelled by his passion for music and his willingness to be the next artist to leave an impact.

RANES wants to showcase that R&B can be upbeat, that it doesn’t have to be mellow and chill: “2000s R&B used to be very upbeat and I want to bring some of that back. The R&B I make can be for all kinds of vibes. The mixture of the beat and the BPM, having a bit of bass with the vocals on top - I’m not boxing myself into the standard R&B sound.”
