R.em.edy Announces Her Intimate Debut EP "Last Summer" and Debut Headline at The Toff
Rising Melbourne R&B singer-producer superstar R.em.edy burst onto the Australian music scene in late 2019, quickly becoming known for her powerful voice, intimate lyricism and impressive production chops. 3 years on, after accruing over 450,000 streams and receiving placement on some of the most prestigious editorial playlists, being named as one of Cool Accidents Artists To Watch in 2022, getting shortlisted for Acclaim All Stars 2022 as well as achieving Triple J and FBi Radio airplay, she is set to release her debut EP Last Summer on 25th November, launching it with her first ever headline show at The Toff on 26th November.
Announced on Monday, Last Summer is an extremely personal project that has seen significant evolution throughout its creation. Originally written as a concept EP about a whirlwind summer fling R.em.edy had in 2020, the project quickly turned into something more meaningful and came to represent self reflection, letting go and processing past feelings.
To celebrate the release of her debut project, R.em.edy is hosting a Last Summer EP Launch on Saturday, 26th November at The Toff in Town, featuring her full live band, indie pop darling Jade Alice and neo-soul extraordinare YARA. The show serves as her first ever headline set, having become known in the local scene for her dynamic live performances as a support act over the years.
Featuring hit singles 613, Hurry Up and Questions, Last Summer lets R.em.edy fully showcase her near-unmatched level of talent in every area, putting her heartfelt songwriting, trademark hypnotic layered vocals and window-rattling production on full display, combining elements of R&B, soul, hip hop and indie pop into a harmonious blend that’s distinctly her own, even breaking new ground and exploring alt rock on Don’t Love You.
The creation of Last Summer took an emotional and physical toll on R.em.edy, painstakingly recording and re-recording each track over the course of 2 years until everything was perfect while dealing with bouts of serious vocal injury and her ongoing experiences with chronic fatigue, chronic pain, TMJ and other significant disabilities, putting her body and heart on the line for the project.
The visuals of the EP were produced throughout 2020 and 2021 when R.em.edy was originally intending on releasing the project, but now have a whole new meaning associated with them for her compared to when they were first created.
"Releasing them in late 2022, they act as a time capsule of the era of myself I’m letting go off with this project.
The low self esteem, toxic relationships, eating disorders, lack of self love, perfectionism, putting others before myself to a fault.
With this project I say goodbye to her & leave her in ‘Last Summer’, allowing myself to embody my truest self & embracing my alter ego ‘Nikki’ as who I am today.”
