New Zealand-based artist RELLA has released a new album titled “Eternal”…a hip-hop album that easily disrupts the music scene with its melodic and heartfelt approach.
RELLA is a rap artist from Wellington, New Zealand and he recorded the whole album in a bedroom studio…the whole story started with a real-life challenge that was presented to RELLA, an abusive relationship between his own mother and step-father, that ended dramatically.
…coming from this hardship, RELLA challenged this energy into music, a lifesaver for many in the world…and decided to create his epic album “Eternal”.
The album has many flavors of hip-hop that don’t just present itself in raw emotional form…RELLA adds more flavors and more emotional layers with his absolutely phenomenal instrumentation.
…for example, the album starts with the song “Belong”…an epic melodic hip-hop song like no other.
The song changes the playing field by being absolutely melodic, focusing on the riff by the acoustic guitar…the vocal flow is absolutely stunning.
The album continues to maintain this melodic approach to almost all songs…sometimes adding different flavors, like old-school hip-hop, some newer trap elements, melodies…and lots of’em.
“broken” takes a more traditional approach with its hard-hitting beats…
“rockstar” goes to the guitar and takes a super melodic approach…this is one of the songs that if you put it on repeat, you could just forget and keep it all day long.
There is absolutely no song on “Eternal” that doesn’t have a strong charismatic musical presence and its own unique melodies…
…but RELLA keeps changing it up…with a song like “Fell in Love”, RELLA chooses to create something new, like a hybrid of original hip-hop, and mix it with pop and rock elements…something absolutely fresh sounding.
RELLA’s “Eternal” is a journey of an album…with 13 tracks…it’s such a treat for the ears and soul, it’s a treasure chest of musicality that keeps on giving new musical meanings to emotions.
We wish RELLA all the best in life, we can’t wait to see what comes next from this absolutely amazing artist.
Cheers!
