Toronto Alternative Soul R&B Artist Avery Raquel Shares Colourful Track “You”

Now back from Europe, Canadian Billboard-charting recording artist, and alternative soul singer Avery Raquel has entertained audiences professionally for over a decade. Having released four solo albums now to critical acclaim and airplay across North America and the world, her 2022 self-titled release, debuted on the Canadian iTunes Top 200 RnB/Soul album chart at #5. Five tracks from that album were finalists in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition in 2022, in four different categories, with one winning the Grand Prize in the pop category.

“You” was written with the idea of a past situationship that I was in. The idea of not knowing what the other person wants with little communication on the matter. Communication is key 😉 – Avery Raquel

You paint colours with your words 

But always paint outside the lines

 At the age of 22, Avery isn’t new to songwriting either. In late 2018, she released her third solo album, My Heart Away, composed of all original music, written by the accomplished and maturing artist. The music achieved media exposure and radio across the country and into the US and Europe. The album debuted at #11 on the Canadian iTunes Top 200 RnB/Soul chart.
