New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Chart legends, The RAH Band, unleash a poignant melodic-message from their vaults, as they re-make and release �Vapour Trails� on 7 May. Featuring the captivating vocals of British songstress, Funmilayo, �Vapour Trails� was first recorded over 5-years ago. But reflecting on the past pandemic year, band founder, Richard Hewson, recognised the resonance of the lyrics in today�s COVID times, and an official release of a refreshed reworking of the song was undisputed.
Hewson formed a collaboration with UK singer, Funmilayo, a few years back, after hearing her vocals and seeing an instant connection with his vibrant, musical production. �Vapour Trails� is a very British sounding song, with a melody and lyrics that people connect with straight away, as the words resonate in these pandemic times. Macy Gray-esque distinctive vocals wind and twist their way gorgeously around the RAH band beats and melodies, in this refreshed version of �Vapour Trails�.
�It�s a story of celebration� says Funmilayo, �It�s a metaphoric gasp of fresh beautiful air, like everyone coming out Noah�s Ark after the flood. For all the people we�ve lost during these strange times, �Vapour Trails� is a celebration of their lives. It�s like the people you�ve lost who have left their footprints in the sand, it�s a celebration of them.�
�It feels as if I wrote that song back then, as a message for today,� comments Hewson. �It�s more relevant now than it could ever have been when I first wrote it. I knew that I had to refresh and release this track after the pandemic year that we�ve all endured.�
With two Top 10 UK chart hits, and numerous international club smashes, plus a stellar production list including The Beatles, The Bee Gees, Fleetwood Mac,
Chris Rea and
Herbie Hancock (to name a few), The
Rah Band have been chart-masters within the industry since the �70s. Housing a back-catalogue of unreleased material, those undiscovered music jewels are being polished and primed, with the brightest shining gems are being hand-picked personally by Hewson for re-release. �Vapour Trails� has a voice and a message for these strange times. A vibe to bring joy to us all, even in those dark isolating moments.
The single �Vapour Trails� by The
Rah Band is released on 7 May on Right Track/Universal.
