Indonesian-born and Perth-based artist Rein Mali is on a mission to redraw the borders of R&B and soul music. Taking cues from a diverse array of artists including D’Angelo, Musiq Soulchild and Stevie Wonder, Rein Mali brings his own unique sonic vision to the music scene.
Rooted in his early experiences in the church and developed by his passion for drumming and singing, his musical journey has been a constant pursuit of creativity and originality. With each release, he showcases his delightful vocals and musicianship flair, leaving listeners eagerly anticipating what he’ll do next.
First making his official artistic entrance in 2022 with the debut single “Like Ah,” he continued to dazzle listeners and earn acclaim with his sophomore single, “Game of Love” featuring CHISEKO last October. Now he brings us his latest release with the new single titled “Give You Space,” a stunning display of his wildly creative alternative R&B style.
Produced in collaboration with Corban Chapple, “Give You Space” is a vibrant and soulful track that distils elements of neo soul, R&B and nu jazz into an irresistible cocktail of forward-thinking music. Brought in by the synth of synths and rattle of shuffling drums, an instant groove takes hold as the arrangement is peppered with colourful instrumental flutters.
Rein’s elegant vocals glide in to spin buoyant vocals via expressive delivery, casting a truly charming jazz-tinged and pop-focused R&B outing. Carried by his alluring voice and full of slick instrumental flourishes from intricate guitar touches, warm piano chords and bright brass pips, “Give You Space” is a spectacular display of Rein Mali’s recognisable and thoroughly enjoyable sound.
Packed full of smooth, shifting rhythm and built on a foundation of exquisite instrumental performance, Rein’s stellar songwriting talent and vocal performance shine brightly from start to finish. On the song’s inspiration, the artist shares, “Give You Space is a love letter to oneself. It’s about recognising the beauty and value of self-love and understanding the necessity of allowing ourselves the room to evolve and flourish.”
