Let's dive into the world of Raglan's own groovy virtuoso, Reiki Ruawai, with his track "Working Title." Released this past March, this gem blends the sultry worlds of R&B, dance, and soul, taking us on a musical journey of romantic pursuits and the art of taking things slow to avoid messing them up.
In the music video, conceptualised alongside a creative director, Reiki sets the stage in a cozy coffee shop, all psyched for a promising date. He's eagerly expecting an immediate connection but gets left cooling his heels - and his coffee - when his date stands him up. But hey, every cloud has a silver lining!
Unfazed, Reiki bounces back, transforming his disappointment into an exciting voyage across the city. His fantasies come alive, painting images of his absent date around every city corner, making the urban landscape an imaginative playground. Keeping it light-hearted, Reiki grins at his fans, saying, "Tell me I'm not the only one who fantasies when sh!+ doesn't go to plan, right?" We're with you there, Reiki!
The retro feel of the video is brought to life by the fantastic Crystal Chen and Nick Alexander, whose love for film lends a distinct, authentic quality to the video. The raw, tactile aesthetics of film have created a visual narrative that's as captivating as the soundtrack, a result that has left Reiki completely stoked.
With "Working Title," Reiki Ruawai takes us along on a delightful journey of love, dreams, and resilience. This track and its accompanying video is a party for the senses, serving up infectious beats and vivid imagery that make us want to dance and daydream all at once. Prepare to be swept off your feet and into the streets by the soulful tunes of our very own, Reiki Ruawai.
