Multi-instrumentalist, singer, producer, and songwriter Jordan Rakei is well-loved by KCRW DJs, so you’ve probably heard some tracks from the new album, The Loop, on our airwaves. 

A standout is “Trust,” about which Rakei says, “With this one, I was focused more on the feeling I wanted to convey, rather than a specific lyric. I’ve often felt like there’s an element of performance to my personality — I believe we’re only our true selves when we’re alone. So ‘Trust’ is about trying to embrace your true self more and performing less, trusting that being the ‘real you’ is the right thing.”
