Music is emotion. There is very little separating the two. If you play Lupe Fiasco’s “Intruder Alert,” I’ll feel sad. “If you play Casnova’s “Gripped Up,” I’ll feel like fighting everyone in the room. Now, if you play R.A.E.’s “Mine,” I’ll feel a range of emotions. I’ll feel happy because the song’s production has a 90s feel that reminds me of my childhood. I’ll also feel like dancing, even though I have no rhythm, because her voice seamlessly floats over the beat. Above all else, I’ll feel genuinely happy and it’s truly special when a song can transport the listener to a place of genuine bliss.

This week, R.A.E. added her own vision to that song of genuine bliss. Directed by Reece Selvadorai, the rising star takes us out to the U.K. for a house party. Instantly, there’s a Soul Train line going on, smiles being shared and a gentle reminder of all the things we’ve missed during this pandemic. Most importantly, the fashion exhibited in this video is on point. From the oversized Pittsburgh Penguins jersey to the sleek tracksuits, the House Party vibes are strong.

Sundays at Def Pen are for introducing others to music they may not necessarily be tapped in to. If you’re already familiar with R.A.E, you’re doing the right thing. If you’re not familiar with her, here’s a chance to get acquainted. Check out the “Mine” video below.
