About Jordan Rakei

Multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, producer, and songwriter Jordan Rakei is back with his fourth studio album, What We Call Life, released via Ninja Tune.What We Call Lifeis Jordan Rakei’s most vulnerable and intimate album to date. Its lyrics concern the lessons that the New Zealand-born, Australia-raised, and London-based artist learned about himself during therapy, a journey that began two years ago when he started reading about the ‘positive psychology’ movement. Rakei, already a practitioner of meditation and mindfulness, was curious about the potential of using therapy for further self-discovery. During the process, he began to learn more about his behaviour patterns and anxieties, and addressed his long-standing irrational phobia of birds a fear often associated with the unpredictable and the unknown, and something explored in the album’s creative direction and visuals.
