If you like what you hear, you can download the music via her official website. If you’re a fan of Bryson Tiller, Tory Lanez, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Aaliyah, and Drake, you might appreciate the warm vocal tones that Kerr has to offer. Acting Like is about girls that act like they’re friends with Tory and that everything is cool. At the time, her Getting Started EP had just come out. During the fourth quarter of 2013, Rachel Kerr headlined the BET Music Matters concert in New York City at SOBs, the legendary music venue. She is also the first singer in the United Kingdom to release a free mixtape. According to the email, Kerr has toured the world with Lauryn Hill, Brandy, Musiq Soulchild and others.
That same year, Urban Music Awards nominated her.
The West Midlands native talent won a MOBO Award in 2012 for the ‘Best Gospel’ category. It is unclear what year or which event but that’s not all. She covered Remy Ma and Fat Joe’s “All The Way Up”, Drake’s “One Dance,” Bryson Tiller’s “Exchange”, PARTYNEXTDOOR’s “Not Nice”, Popcaan’s “Ova Dweet” and much more.īefore releasing this mixtape, she apparently sang for President Bill Clinton. It seems that Rachel Kerr has an affinity for American recording artists. We’ve heard a lot of music from Tory before this album, with projects like the Chixtape series, Cruel Intentions, The New Toronto, and the catalogue of music coming out of Fargo Fridays, including Tory’s remixes of Uber Everywhere, Controlla, and I Got the Keys. On “Nothing Can Stop Me”, the young artist delivers lyrics in a style that Rihanna has dominated in recent years. When Tory Lanez dropped his debut album on August 19 th, it became an event. Her rendition of Tory Lanez’s “Say It” sets off the same sentiment. Making each cover song a thing of its own, the British recording artist remakes several popular records including Drake’s “Controlla”, which also feels like an early Beyoncé (Destiny’s Child era) demo. The mentions of Tory Lanez, Drake, and PARTYNEXTDOOR features piqued my interest, making me listen to Rachel Kerr’s “Unboxed” mixtape.Īlthough its promotional email is a tad misleading, Rachel Kerr’s latest 15-track mixtape showcases her strong vocal and songwriting ability.
