Avery Raquel delivers a confession from the heart with "The Letter”

Canadian Alternative Soul singer-songwriter Avery Raquel is releasing her new single "The Letter," a song that gracefully blends R&B intimately with the classic depth of soul. Avery delivers music that's at once intensely intimate and universally resonant.

"The Letter" highlights Avery's voice, instantly noting her old soul with a playful balance of youthful openness/maturity well beyond her years. Her delivery is soothing, ambivalent, and breezy all at once, with those unnerving lyrics at the core of the song's emotion. The song is a sumptuous mix of classic R&B rhythms, jazz-influenced phrasing, pop hooks, and smooth-synth grooves that results in something as glorious as it is appealing.

Avery's songwriting blossoms in "The Letter", highlighting her ability to convey an emotive story without ever becoming heavy-handed. The song struck a chord with anyone who has grappled with or failed to express unspoken feelings, the push-pull between holding back and letting it all out. With its melodic phrases, intricately layered instrumentation, and meticulous arrangement, it also gives the track a classic sound that sets it apart from much of what you're hearing in neo-soul and R&B today.

"The Letter" is a product of Avery Raquel, the artistic visionary and modern soul for mod times that pays homage to its heritage even as it bursts boldly forward into the now. Her music spans the decades, drawing from a roots-music past and shaping modern narratives that resonate with you. Through "The Letter," Avery Raquel not only cements herself as an emerging powerhouse of Alternative Soul but also provides an enjoyable listen that continues to resonate. This is R&B and soul made with both heart and smarts, a song that asks for reflection, empathy, and connection.
