Rei presents ‘The Bridge’, his 3rd album and his most intimate yet...

genres, languages and cultures, collecting
millions of streams on the way.
‘The Bridge’ is his most ambitious
album to date, debuting at the top of Spotify’s R&B
homepage, with features on New Music Fridays, Urban Flavour
and R&B Connect. Through the 14 tracks, Rei explores the
highs and lows of a relationship, sharing his internal
emotions and realisations along the way. Through this, Rei
reinforces his self-empowering kaupapa of being a
‘chief’ of your own life, while staying
true to his signature high production and catchy hooks.
‘Too Easy’
featuring up-and-coming reggae artist Lion
Rezz is dropping with the album and it has
a fun pop/reggae vibe. The Bridge is right
up there with the latest trends in Hip
Hop, RnB and
Pop music and he is stoked to finally
release it. The title of the album describes his journey
where he feels he is ‘The Bridge’ between the many
worlds he walks between.
