She mostly spent her time on the road, performing at Newport Folk and Red Rocks, sharing stages with Iron \u0026amp; Wine, Jason Isbell, Jenny Lewis, Hiss Golden Messenger and Father John Misty, before her touring came to a sharp halt at the start of the pandemic. The solitude of the road and then the pandemic created space for Rae to undergo a sonic and philosophical shift where she found personal catharsis in creating an album that reflected on her newfound lessons of self acceptance, alongside finding the confidence to offer social commentary on the environment, gender identity and equality. 'My last record was a lot of self-assessment and criticism, and trying to kick old habits and ways of relating and not relating to people,' Rae acknowledges. 'This one is about blossoming, opening up, and living a little more in the present moment. Fully experiencing what it is to be human.'\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eWith a renewed sense of agency, Rae also took a more active role in creating the kaleidoscopic soundscape that became Lighten Up, setting out to reflect a sound she calls, 'an emotional pallet, I could get lost in.' Alongside Erin and Jonathan Wilson, who contributed various instruments, the album also features guest appearances from fellow rising star singer songwriters, Meg Duffy, Ny Oh, and Kevin Morby.\u003cp\u003eCandy + Curry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCan't See Stars\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrue Love's Face\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGonna Be Strange\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalifornia Belongs To You\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCosmic Sigh\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eModern Woman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrift Away\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnemy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMind - Heart\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLighten Up And Try\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUndone\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55128679022977,"sku":"1375488","price":12.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51jwa8t0jGL._SL1500_e3a97647-5579-4696-bedd-4feddea19d0a.jpg?v=1766780196","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1375488","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
