In her debut solo album 'Affectionately', Raisa K navigates the complexities of love and home through intricate soundscapes. Drawing from the London DIY scene while establishing her distinct voice, she shifts from her previous band's primitive sound to a more polished, ambient-industrial style. The album cleverly embodies the tension of romantic conflict, alternating between dynamics of momentum and exhaustion. By incorporating lo-fi rock with ambient textures, Raisa K crafts an experience that feels both confined and expansive, inviting listeners to reflect on the mundane yet profound realities of intimacy and domestic life.
"In her debut solo album, Affectionately, Raisa K exposes the wiring and guts of both: the machinery of domesticity and the inner workings of love."
"The music feels hot, stuffy, and stifling; Raisa K's vigorously engineered and kettling beats sound like trapped air clanging inside hot radiators."
