Raylee Forest is a Los Angeles based pop musician who tackles dark and mysterious subject matter over riveting cascades of saccharine harmonics. Her identity as a Chinese American artist informs her style as a musician who draws from both Western and East Asian pop. Her latest single “Mask” is a dark fairytale daydream that chronicles the ebbs and flows of Forest’s innermost emotions.
“Mask” combines dramatic notes of piano, lush soundscapes, and striking string arrangements for a track that creates an air of intoxicating allure. Raylee Forest sings, “Have you seen my mask collection? They come in all kinds of expressions.” Forest uses the metaphor of the mask to capture the complexity of her feelings and her tendency to shape-shift in order to appease society. “Mask” is filled to the brim with soul-stirring beats and visceral lyrics that strike the chord of human nature.
Raylee Forest is building momentum for the release of her upcoming, highly anticipated EP. Her music is deeply ruminative and unafraid to conquer dark topics while still remaining true to her pop core.
