Rekindling his inner child, a child who grew up listening to the likes of soul-baring artists such as Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers and Curtis Mayfield, The Loop finds Rakei speaking with a similar desire and learning to embrace the simplicity of words. The album represents significant and profound changes in Rakei’s life, and the impact of these changes.

The album opens wonderfully with “Flowers”, a sweet love song to Rakei’s wife. The hip-hop percussion perfectly introducing an album full of conflicting emotions. “Amends”, with its swirling synths, tells of accepting the departure of friends, acquaintances, business partners and the like from your life. Meanwhile, the gentle “Hopes and Dreams”, written just after the birth of his son, carries an awe-striking tenderness and the aura of a timeless classic.
