Some Records Just Feel Perfect….”Befores And Afters , From Royal She Is One Of Those Records

We here at The Whole Kameese, fully believe if your going to put out an album, you should go full tilt , hold absolutely nothing back and deliver an album that you can proudly share with the universe. Royal She , have done that and then some by delivering a positively inspiring and stunning album with , “Befores and Afters”. You can listen to “Befores and Afters” on Spotify Here, Apple Music Here

We first fell in love with the authentic and vibrant sounds of Los Angeles based 2 piece rock band, Royal She ( vocalist Alison Freed and multi -instrumentalist Alexandria Reyes) back last October , with their authentic and honest vibrant single, “My Ex” . Some bands try to get by with smoke and mirrors…. Not Royal She. They are 100 percent the real deal and it show with everything they release. It has been an absolute pleasure to watch them grow their artistry .

We even had the pleasure of interviewing Royal She, back in December, where Alison, shared with us the creative process of Royal She, “It’s really a joint effort and a beautiful, connected experience. When writing, Alex started playing a riff and I started singing melodies and lyrics. For the most part Alex writes the music and I write the vocal melodies and lyrics. We both are involved in every step of the production and mixing of each song

With the arrival of the new album, “Befores and Afters “ what listeners get is an album that shows off a band in Royal She, that is firing on all cylinders and it is breathtakingly brilliant.

Their genre-bending sound blends elements of rock, pop, hip hop, rap, and electronic music, creating a sonic signature that evokes comparisons to PVRIS, Phantogram, Evanescence, and TLC. Produced by Logan Mader (Five Finger Death Punch, Machine Head) and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge, David Bendeth, Jay Baumgardner, and Math Bishop, Befores and Afters hits hard as a statement of survival, transformation, and rebirth.

Right from the opening track, “Worth It”, it is crystal clear that this more than just an album but a complete musical experience.

“Silent Killer” and “Karma” are two tracks that show how diverse and fluid the sound of Royal She , can be. So many bands only live solely in one style or genre of music, which is why Royal She, is so refreshing.

We enjoyed “Befores and Afters”,from beginning to end …. But , two tracks really touched our soul. The first one is “Let Her Go” Some songs you fall hopelessly in love with the first time you hear them…. “Let Her Go” is one of those songs . Flawless vocals, perfect melodies this song is an absolute masterpiece.

The second song is “Healing Anthem “ in our opinion this is Royal She at their absolute best . “Healing Anthem “ delivers an important and authentic call for unity and resilience, which is needed more than ever .

With “Befores and Afters” , from Royal She , we are treated with a musical work of art full of heart , soul and truth .
