Song of the Day: Rachel Marie – High (ft. John Lass)

Rachel Marie

A great start to the week: today’s song is High by singer/songwriter RACHEL MARIE.

Singing/song-writing and performing are lifelong ambitions for the 22 year old from Washington DC . Known as “LM” or “Lilmaria”, RACHEL MARIE started out singing with her family at church and performed in art grade schools.

In 2012, the Jacksonville music and business graduate released a sensual R&B/neo soul number  Wanna Feel It (ft. MAXXX FLAIR). So there you have it – have a listen to High. This track definitely deserves a place on the song of the day hot spot, as it features that old school R&B/neo soul groove with Rachel’s effortlessly gliding vocals.

If this track puts you on a high, then check out her other effort, Wanna Feel It on Bandcamp.
