Rachel (@raquelllofficial) has proven once again why she is one of Toronto’s most exciting emerging artists. The singer-songwriter’s latest project, Sessions with Raquelaims to give a new identity to the songs, and his latest collaboration with Smile And Sadboi “Fashion Week” is no exception.

Her soulful delivery, combined with the signature styles of Smiley and Sadboi, brings the song back to its essence, creating a raw and emotional journey for listeners.

“It was such a meaningful performance,” Raquel shared. “I wanted to bring out the vulnerability of the song. The rain was symbolic. It reflected the emotions we were trying to convey.

The visual aspect of the show is just as captivating as the music. The moody horizon and constant rainfall add a layer of cinematic intensity. Honestly, it elevates the whole experience. Raquel’s Sessions series has quickly become a masterclass in blending heartfelt music and stunning visuals.
