Raye Zaragoza - Hold That Spirit

It’s easy for me to be vulnerable with a female collaborator even the first time I meet her. A lot of these sessions were three hours of us talking and therapizing before we started writing. This album is so much about what it feels like to be a woman leaving the “prime of your 20s” and processing what it means to get older, which is something which men don’t experience in the same way.
— Raye Zaragoza

Following on from 2021’s terrific Woman In Color, Hold That Spirit had a lot to live up to. But boy, does it. A thoughtful, spirited record, showing a different side of Raye.

I’m the editor-in-chief. The guy who looks after this whole damn place. And the music you see here is the kinda sounds that I’m into. They’re my questions, but not my answers.
