RAMAN. embodies raw emotion, a no-nonsense guitar sound, melancholic instrumental interludes, and a voice that, once it ensnares you, never releases its grip.
In his relentless pursuit of authenticity, RAMAN. delves into his roots in the blues and beyond, delivering raw, emotional, and at times, unapologetically hard rock & roll. The music originates somewhere in the backstreets of Ghent, reflecting the essence of frontman Simon Raman. It's a challenge to articulate in words, but therein lies its captivating allure. RAMAN. is best experienced live, evoking the robust fragility reminiscent of artists like Chris Whitley and Jeff Buckley, with a voice akin to that of George Michael.
Currently, RAMAN. is crafting his debut full-length album, set to be produced by Pascal Deweze & Koen Gisen. In the meantime, he's unveiling a series of singles, including this new track 'all this time' (release date: 01.03.2024).
RAMAN. takes us on an enchanting journey with his latest single 'all this time'. In this dreamy and captivating melody, he describes an awakening in the spring, amidst the winding path of life. He sings about finding oneself in his own created world, while becoming increasingly aware of the transience and hidden beauty of existence. It's like a rose that, even after it has withered, still retains its splendor.
Together with his previous single 'I Wonder', 'all this time' offers a glimpse of RAMAN.'s highly anticipated debut album. In this album, produced in collaboration with Pascal Deweze & Koen Gisen, his unique style is fully expressed. Fans of artists like Blake Mills, Thom Yorke, and Jeff Buckley will undoubtedly revel in the enchanting sounds of 'all this time'.
