Raheem Nota has released his latest single, ‘Just Wanna Feel Loved Again’. At the tender age of 16, Raheem has mastered the ability to fuse emo and rap to create a sound that is truly his own. Using thumping 808s and a striking beat, ‘Just Wanna Feel Loved Again’ exhibits a talent far beyond his years, with his dynamic vocals and tales of love, loss and London life weaving between heartbreak and happiness with ease.
Using one of his dad’s old microphones and basic knowledge of Pro Tools, the teenager writes and records all of his own music in his bedroom, including his 2020 debut album ‘The Pendant That Saved Me’, with streams for his lead single ‘Let Me Go’ soaring past the 20,000 mark. Speaking on the track, Raheem quotes “This new single is me putting my emotions out on the table. It’s about the emotional struggles of teenage life, the mental fragility that can take us to dark places. That’s where I was when I wrote this, and that’s what I’m trying to express. When I listen to music I want to connect with the artist and relate to what they are saying, what they have experienced. That’s what I aim to do with my music and this song”.
