Packed with poignancy and soothing energy, ‘Found My Way Here’ is a stunning musical piece, the kind of informed jewel that only gifted, expert songwriters can conceive. Rachel Davie Lee hits the mark completely, delivering a nostalgic and emotional composition that greatly enhances her evocative vocals, so well complemented by a majestic grand piano. Recorded in Tortola, British Virgin Islands, ‘Found My Way Here’ is the result of a collaboration with Brent Hoyte, a fellow talented pianist.
Drawing influences from classical, gospel, jazz, RnB, and pop, the record is a reflection of Davie Lee’s personal journey as she reflects on her upbringing and present endeavours. Originally intended to have a gentle soulful sound with some effects and a beat, the duo realized that a simple acoustic piano ballad worked best for the song’s mood.
Lyrically, that’s where the track shines the most. Rachel reflects on the painful moments of her past, ultimately realizing how everything she’s lived through has shaped her to be the empowered artistic majesty she is today. The original sentiment behind the song was driven by her feelings of homesickness, having grown up in the UK and lived abroad for over 10 years.
