Raquel Liane's journey has been one of transformation. From her roots in musical theatre to finding freedom in songwriting, she's consistently pushed boundaries and embraced self-discovery. This evolution shines through in her latest single, ‘Golden’ – a vibrant celebration of life, gratitude, and self-love.
Teaming up with producer Jessica Lyndsay, Liane has crafted an uplifting R&B anthem that radiates pure joy. Soulful melodies intertwine with heartfelt lyrics, creating a sonic landscape that feels both familiar and refreshingly new. ‘Golden’ encapsulates the power of embracing your true self, a message that resonates deeply throughout the track.
Liane's journey to ‘Golden’ began unexpectedly during a TikTok verse challenge in the summer of 2023. Inspired by the sun glistening on the river outside her window, she penned the line, “The sun shines down, creates a sparkle made just for me”. This simple verse, born from a fleeting moment, blossomed into the song's powerful third verse and ultimately inspired the entire track. It's a testament to Liane's creative spirit and her ability to find inspiration in the everyday. As Liane herself puts it, "Honestly, it pays to participate in verse challenges online – you never know which one is going to be the catalyst for your next song."
Known for her emotionally rich music and authentic storytelling, Liane continues to evolve as an artist. With ‘Golden’, she delivers a smooth, groovy R&B experience that speaks to the heart. The track serves as a reminder to be thankful for the present moment and the support system that surrounds us.
In her own words, “I’m so excited to release ‘Golden’ because it is one of those songs where I successfully captured a glimpse of who I could be and who I am actively becoming." This sense of self-discovery and empowerment shines through in every note, making ‘Golden’ a must-listen for anyone who's ever embarked on a journey of self-love.
