Los Angeles based pop artist R E L has just shared her latest single + video entitled “Intuition.” The emotionally raw and powerful track delves into the profound journey of self-discovery, emphasizing the importance of embracing vulnerability and truth. Her poignant lyrics tell the story of her own recovery, one of healing from a desensitized and overstimulated culture that many of us experience in the modern western world.
She confides, “We are conditioned to believe that we need validation or likes or certain status markers, or a certain amount of money or body type to be successful, to be likeable, to be valuable, when we really are all so valuable inside- underneath the facade we’ve built is a society aching for authenticity.”
In the accompanying music video, R E L takes on the persona of a pierrot, symbolizing the facade we often wear. As the video unfolds, she sheds her costume and mask, revealing a newfound freedom and inner strength. The cinematic visual beautifully captures the essence of the song’s message, that by stripping away our protective layers, we can discover resilience and the power within.
R E L has found success garnering over 20 million streams and has co-wrote and performed “Night City” for a feature in the acclaimed-video game Cyberpunk 2077. The song was used for the trailer and has become a fan favorite across the globe. She has further received praise from the likes of Wonderland Magazine, LADYGUNN, Huffington Post, and The Line of Best Fit, among others.
