Single Review: Real Life

Scarlett Eden’s new track released this October 21st, and it’s called Real Life. Coining herself a “funked up pop filled R&B singer”, Scarlett experiments with blues, funk, jazz, R&B, and soul. She prides herself on live performance and a love for singing. She’s played Road to Rhythm and Vines, Cape Estate Boxing Day, Madcap Cassette Nine, Common Room showcase and opened for Nathan Haines and Netsky. Scarlett has also busked in Europe, and played in London. Her passion for singing started young, and she was influenced by artists such as Aretha Franklin, Erykah Badu and Amy Winehouse. 

Real Life is a showcase of soul and emotion. She’s a fine wine that sits perfectly in the background of a popular bar, or hot spot of social traffic. She’s cool and current, and has a groove that’s catchy and resonant. She’s got good control of her vibrato; she’s one you can cruise with.

You hear 1970’s Motown meeting a modern swing in Real Life; it’s as if the rawness of this unfiltered sound is kept live. I applaud Scarlett’s authenticity and I would love to hear more!
