Remi recently announced the impending release of his highly anticipated new album, Divas and Demons, which is out 16th September, and he’s now revealed a string of national tour dates to celebrate the LP’s release.
The tour will see Remi zig-zagging across the country with good mate Baro, who collaborated with the rapper on the track ‘F**k the Judge’, hitting up venues in Canberra, Hobart, and Ballarat for the first time in two years.
“Since our last record, a lot of young mixed race Aussie kids have come to me talking about how much they can relate to the racial struggle in our music,” says Remi. “I don’t think that’s a good thing, but I’m proud that these kids feel a little less alone, because of some songs we didn’t think anyone would hear.”
“It also became inspiration for me to continue opening up about my experience. Often you can feel like one crazy beige kid in a sea of ignorance shouting about equality. These kids helped change that for me.”
“The most beautiful thing about a lot of musicians I know is how much the social climate effects them. Jordan Rakei is one of those musicians. Even though we were literally continents apart when he worked on this joint, with very little background on the song, Jordan was able too match the tone and message immediately.”
“Partially because his voice sounds like liquid gold, but mostly because I know he gets it. It’s very apparent across his discography (if you haven’t heard it, get it) that he cares for our planet and the people in it. Thanks for being one of the good guys my brother.”
