Today, multilingual, multinational worldpop superstar-in-waiting Raissa releases “No Genius” featuring her close friend and collaborator Rahim Redcar fka Christine and the Queens. The collaboration is the latest in a long line of meaningful collabs and co-signs, including Mark Ronson, Mura Masa, and more. A singular pop storyteller whose honest lyrics, vibrant soundscapes, and unique visual storytelling exhibit her artistry, Raissa is preparing her upcoming Cute Threat EP on Neon Gold Records.
She adds about “No Genius: "Lyrically guided by a channeled frustration at our increasing alienation from each other. It doesn’t take no genius to know that those who seek to divide us are up to no good. I was channeling some frustration during a particularly difficult time in the world. I think people as a collective are smarter than we give ourselves credit for. It’s some tough love for myself and my fellow human. A reminder that it doesn’t take no genius to know that those who seek to divide us, are probably up to no good."
Born in Spain, Raissa inherited a mastery of French and Spanish from her parents and a love of songwriting from Leonard Cohen. She spent her childhood between Beijing, Sydney, Kuala Lumpur, and London - as a result, she draws from a deep well of creative influences, everything from antique Gothic literature to vintage anime.
Currently LA-based, Raissa has been in the studio writing and recording her next project, Cute Threat. She is a unique talent whose work creates a sense of hope and the urge to fight for truth and love. She champions courage, vulnerability, and what it means to be young and enthralled by it all.
