Rachel (@raquelllofficial) has proven once again why she is one of Toronto’s most exciting emerging artists. The singer-songwriter’s latest project, Session with Raquelis all about giving songs a new identity, and their recent collaboration with Smiley and Sadboi on “Fashion Week” is no exception.
Set against the dramatic backdrop of a rain-drenched New York rooftop, Raquel’s version of “Fashion Week” turns the high-energy track into a moving, piano-led ballad. Her moving delivery, combined with Smiley and Sadboi’s signature style, captures the essence of the song and takes listeners on a vivid, emotional journey.
Raquel said, “It was a really meaningful performance.” “I wanted to reveal the vulnerability in the song. The rain felt symbolic. It reflects the emotion we are trying to convey.”
The visual aspect of the performance is just as captivating as the music. The moody skyline and constant rain add to the cinematic intensity. It honestly improves the whole experience. Raquel’s Sessions series is quickly becoming a masterclass in combining moving music with stunning visuals.
Fans of Raquel, Smiley and Sadboi will find something new to love in this performance, but even first-time listeners will be captivated by its undeniable emotional appeal.
