Alternative R&B from ORCA

ORCA‘s new album Better Now showcases her evolution as a musician and her unique take on alternative indie R&B. Hailing from Tel Aviv, ORCA has been making music since she was a child and has been on a creative journey to find her voice. With this album, she brings her own version of the music she has loved since her childhood, blending innovative pop productions with nods to the R&B music of the late 90s and early 2000s.

The album contains nine tracks, mostly written and composed by ORCA in collaboration with Ami Nir. Each song is an expression of ORCA’s experiences since moving to the big city alone, without her family, covering a range of emotions, from stories of romance to fears, frustration, and disappointments, all of which are expressed through deep and relatable lyricism.

One of the standout tracks on the album is “Hang Low,” a collaboration with British-Israeli singer, creator and rapper OZEL. This song is the focus track of the album and brings a refreshing, European vibe and innovative tone to the mix. The light and fun beats of the 2000s are also evident in this track, making it an instant earworm.

ORCA’s unique voice and production style are on full display throughout the album. Her vocals are smooth, sultry and emotionally charged, making each track a deeply personal experience. The production is a perfect complement to her voice, with beats that are sometimes upbeat and sometimes mellow, but always in perfect harmony with the lyrics.

Better Now is an album that takes listeners on a journey through the highs and lows of life. ORCA’s honesty and vulnerability shine through in every song, making it easy for listeners to connect with her on a personal level. From the upbeat “Found A Lover” to the more introspective closing track “Isn’t Enough,” the album is a perfect representation of ORCA’s unique perspective on life and love.

Overall, Better Now is a stunning album that showcases ORCA’s growth as a musician and her ability to blend different genres seamlessly. The album is a perfect blend of alternative indie, R&B and pop, with each track offering something unique and special. It’s a record that will make you dance, cry and everything in between, and it’s definitely worth a listen.
