When The Love Is Real

Hard To Stay

Like The Rain

Avery Raquel’s new single “The Letter” is a heartfelt ballad that captures the delicate moment when friendship begins to blur into love. Told from her perspective after receiving a handwritten letter by her close friend, the song explores the vulnerability of confessing hidden feelings, the fear of change, and the hope of something deeper. With Avery’s signature soul-infused delivery, “The Letter” blends emotional storytelling with tender melodies, pulling listeners into a timeless narrative of love, longing, and honesty.

Musically, the track is stripped back and intimate, allowing Avery’s warm, emotive vocals to take centre stage. Gentle piano lines and subtle string-like elements give the song a classic ballad feel, while her modern Alternative Soul style keeps it fresh and relatable. It’s the kind of song that resonates across generations, evoking the quiet intensity of young love but with the depth and maturity of Avery’s songwriting.

In collaboration with noted music producer/songwriter/musician, Greg Kavanagh (Aretha Franklin, Jennifer Warnes, Linda Ronstadt), Avery has written strikingly accomplished original songs that will appear on her second solo album, “Without A Little Rain”, scheduled for release in early 2017. Among the six original compositions, Avery will also be recording fresh interpretations of three classic covers.

Inspired by vintage Christmas songs we hear every year, Christmas Isn’t Christmas takes a traditional jazz influenced harmony, and places it over contemporary rhythms along with a modern alternative RnB production style.

Avery Raquel is a Canadian Alternative Soul artist whose music fuses vintage soul, R&B, jazz, and pop into a modern, emotionally resonant sound. With a voice that defies her age and songwriting that blends vulnerability with maturity, Avery delivers a refreshing take on soul-infused storytelling.

From an early age, Avery’s passion for music was unmistakable. As she began
songwriting at age 15, her artistry evolved, and so did her sound – moving from her jazz roots into richer, more personal musical terrain. Her 2017 and 2018 albums (Without A Little Rain and My Heart Away) showcased this transition, earning national airplay and accolades across Canada.

In 2020, Avery charted at #30 on Billboard, further displaying her prowess as a passionate songwriter and performer.

Her 2022 self-titled album ‘Avery Raquel’ marked a bold leap into Alternative Soul, characterized by infectious grooves, lush harmonies, and honest lyrics. The album debuted at #5 on the Canadian iTunes Top 200 R&B/Soul chart and featured singles like “Helpless,” “Please,” and “All Up To You.” The album’s success was further cemented when five of its tracks were finalists in the 2022 John Lennon Songwriting Competition across four different categories, with one winning the Grand Prize.

Upon her return from Europe in the Fall of 2024, where she spent a year performing and
acquiring her master’s degree in music from Berklee in Valencia, Avery released her new EP ‘Scratching at the Surface’, and more recently her new single ‘Hard To Stay’. These atmospheric tracks blend Soul with subtle Alternative influences, creating a captivating vibe that melds colour into music along with poignant lyrics.

Avery has graced stages across North America and Europe, including renowned music
festivals, iconic clubs, and main-stage performing arts centres. She’s been featured on Canadian and US media including CBC radio, Global News, CTV, prominent newspapers and online blogs, has shared stages with artists such as David Clayton-Thomas and Sean Jones, and worked with artists and producers like Tyler Shaw and Christian Lohr (Joss Stone).

Known for her commanding stage presence and genre-blending sound, Avery Raquel is redefining what it means to be a soul artist in the 21st century. With each performance and release, she continues to carve a space that is unmistakably her own — honest, heartfelt, and deeply soulful.
