Suki Rae is an award-winning composer and world-renowned musician with a career that has spanned more than thirty years. She is a classically trained flutist, singer, and songwriter who has performed around the world. She has even worked on a project with Oasis.
In addition to her extensive history in live performance, Suki Rae has been a musician in residence in locations from Israel to Spain. Over the years, the multifaceted artist has released eight recordings. In September she will drop the brand new CD “A Slice of Moon”. Suki composed and produced all of the tracks on the 10-song collection. Throughout the record, Suki delivers virtuosic performances on vocals, flute, and keys while being accompanied by a roster of world-class musicians. “The album is an exposé for those who have loved madly, loved and lost, or yearn for love.”

“Come Fly Away” is the first of three singles to be released before the full 10-song CD is available September 8, 2023. The song dropped worldwide via all major streaming services and Bandcamp on June 23, 2023. An accordion accompanies Suki’s flute as she introduces the tune. Soon, an organic mix of drums, percussion, guitar and bass enter the mix. The tune slides into a mellow tango groove as the singer offers a romantic escape fantasy.
“I Will Wait For You” is the second single from “A Slice of Moon”, released worldwide via all major streaming services and Bandcamp on July 21, 2023. An analog synth opens the track with hypnotic minor-key arpeggios as Suki Rae steps to the mic. She delivers a poetic promise to her lover amid a dreamy downtempo mix of ambient keys, percussion, strings, and flute.
Suki Rae was kind enough to share with us an advance copy of “A Slice of Moon”. Throughout the CD, the talented songwriter and producer weaves a rich genre-bending cultural mix of contemporary pop and music traditions from around the world. From the Broadway inspired theatrical pieces like the opener “Partners in Crime” to the ragtime-infused pop of “Baby You Came Along”, “A Slice of Moon” is a musically sophisticated and adventurous collection.
The songs examine love in all its permutations, with a timeless mix of musical styles. Songs like the title track and “Catherine Street” match beautiful jazz-infused pop moods and city scenes with poetic and romantic imagery. Suki adds some Big Easy vibes on “Just Because of a Kiss”. Throughout the record, Suki Rae is joined by a world-class ensemble of players. It is a beautifully produced record that pairs virtuosic musicianship with richly woven tales of love, loss, and renewal.
Check out both “Come Fly Away” and “I Will Wait For You” below. You can also hear both songs on the Deep Dive : Pop & Rock playlist. You can also hear Suki’s music on Bandcamp, or listen on your favorite streaming service. Follow the links below to connect with Suki Rae. The singer has a string of new single releases planned for the coming months, all leading up to the September release of her new album A Slice of Moon.

“Wholesome,enjoyable and uplifting – Suki Rae absolutely knocks it out of the park, and you’ll love every single song on her brand new album “Can’t Stop Now”- her writing is as sweet as the music- I highly recommend this as an innovative and fresh patchwork of creative musical art from a mature,eclectic and confident artist.”

Suki Rae and Company’s ‘Can’t Stop Now’ is a spiritual revival of sound
Classically trained flutist, singer and songwriter Suki Rae has been performing in the international circuit for over 25 years. Over the span of these years, she won many awards, has acted, written and directed in theater and film, as well as going on to having performed in venues that range from Alice Tully Hall to the Jerusalem Womens’ Music Festival.
With seven recordings under her belt (six of original music) all of which were released on Reverence for Life Records, Rae continues to produce the type of music that people can revel in. Filled with an incandescent light and moving harmonies, Rae’s sound contains a hodge-podge of cadences from gospel to blues, spiritual, and world music genres.
On Rae’s latest release, entitled, Can’t Stop Now, the artist’s moving themes on social consciousness, awareness and the Divine continue on this record.
Backed by Steve Bloom (guitar), Kennan Keating (guitar), KJ Jacobs (bass), Barry Kornhauser (cello), Andrey Golodukhin (drums), and Chris Howard (percussions), Rae with the help of the vocals of Ayana Lowe, Andru Cann, Sumati Bates, Benita Charles, and Greg Cross, handles the flute, keyboards, songwriting, as well as vocals.
With Can’t Stop Now, Suki Rae and Company proves they are unstoppable. Dressed in exciting harmonies and warm undertones, Rae’s latest record contains a bright, sunny sound that is unmatched in gospel music today.
Bask in the warmth of Rae’s spiritual music that promises peace and love anthems in the feel-good variety. Revving with uplifting and good energy, Rae brings to us a huge spirited revival. These songs of praise will heighten the spiritual experience, giving listeners an occasion to celebrate.
Rae really showcases her gift on the flute and songwriting. With lyrics filled with euphoria and joyous vocals, Can’t Stop Now really sings with the spirited sounds coming from the flute.
Can’t Stop Now functions more as a cause for rejoicing than just simply as a gospel release. The 10-track compilation is a huge spiritual revival, filled with uplifting songs that are a distinctive healthy melding of blues, folk and gospel.
