my debut album, SPACE DREAMS, out now!!!
SPACE DREAMS is about confronting the truth about what holds you back, owning who you are, and stepping into the full majesty of your truest dreams.
Swim in the galactic expression of synth-bass, arpeggios, heavy bass, funky trip hop beats, and unapologetic honesty. Rae Larz portrays an unpredictable vocal delivery full of emotion and intention.
This is Rae's DEBUT ALBUM: the culmination of her lifetime, in actuality. The album itself took 8 months to write, produce, mix, and master. Yet... it symbolizes the self-work needed to rise above limiting beliefs in order to become who you're truly meant to be.
"I'm thrilled to bring this into the world. While the actual album in totality took me two years to write/produce/mix/master, everything in my life lead me to those two years. I'm so grateful for all of you for believing in me. It's the greatest gift having you resonate with the deepest parts of me, through creative expression.
NOTE: I strongly advise you to listen with headphones or stereo-compatible speakers (such as in your car) for the FULL spatial experience. :)
Below are little tidbits behind each song, if you wish to dive deeper.
Lastly, but certainly not least, ENJOY!"
~ Rae Larz
BLUNT
Coming to terms with the blunt nature in which I broke up with someone... knowing honesty is best for both of us, but realizing my growth in speaking the truth *overreached* into hurting them unintentionally.
"Now it's clear I'm a sag" is pointing toward's a Sagittarius's blunt honesty, sometimes to a fault. It's about expressing vulnerability, taking accountability for my own mistakes, yet holding compassionate awareness of how far I've come. The same grace is meant for the other person as well.
SPACE DREAMS
Fresh out of a breakup, this freestyle imbues the realest feelings of the moment: tons of crying, and then a newfound awareness. What is not aligned is not always not aligned. But at a certain point, they're meant to end for the ultimate alignment and good for both involved. People, circumstances, and ways of being often are meant to be for a specific time to uncover and learn lessons (individually and collectively). This doesn't discount their importance. Yet, this internal yearning and desire for something which will allow you to grow closer to yourself cannot be denied... nor should it. And once in the space to realize, it becomes so clear - and free of attachment to the pain of expectation.
More than that - it's an anthem for manifestation. Embodying the feelings of excitement, passion, and joy in manifesting all that you desire. May all your SPACE DREAMS come true.
SPACE FAIRY
A mantra for all the Space Fairies.
You are Powerful, Capable, Beautiful.
Keep going.
Keep doing your Magical Sh*t, you Bad B*tch.
MOONBASE
MOONBASE is about reclaiming society's idea of success, accepting what parts of society my not accept about you (or stereotype you as), and understanding that healing isn't linear... so why wait til you're all the way there to dance? Create your own Heaven in your mind.
P.S. The title MOONBASE is a little nod to those who believe there's a little more to the moon than we're being told...
Another Language
An ode to triphop, this synth beat was inspired from the origin of who we truly are: limitless, immortal be-ings. And staying true to who we Are.
"I'm not one for writing sad songs" is meant to point towards the limiting nature of human language, while also pointing a subtle nod to the album's last song, "all a gift": labeling something "bad" isn't in the nature of the 5D where eternal beings live. It's all for our ultimate ascension.
We ALL are a Goldmine. And we all have the power to Unlock it.
FLAVOR
"I'm not the flavor of the week" stemmed from not wanting to just be a short-term hottie, yet often finding myself in this position because I fall fast. And often, jump in physically fast. But because I met this person whom the song prompted while we were long-distance (so lesbian, I know), I wasn't even about to feel their touch. Which my patterns didn't know how to deal with, as it's typical to move too fast. I was becoming aware of this pattern, especially after dealing with a toxic person in my recent past. (Said ex prompted the songs AMIREAL and Narc...ASSIST!... the latter coming out too at some point.) So this song was a plea to myself. A reminder: "Can't stop this beat from falling."
FLAVOR is a demo that remained a demo. One of my values as an artist is preserving the truth of the moment. And sometimes, this means allowing a one-take freestyle to remain in its raw, un-efforted first feeling.

Produced on 01.01.24 in a small studio in NYC.
LITERAL HEAVEN
One sunny day in NYC's Chinatown, while sitting on a rock in Columbus Park... I had a mystical moment. Time froze. The sun glittered - literally glittered - on the pavement. Green abounded.
Out loud, the freestyle for LITERAL HEAVEN came out. I booked it uptown on the subway, ready to produce the beat.
The next day, I performed it in First Live US in Brooklyn alongside my other songs in the set.
This was one of my favorite experiences as an artist. And one of my favorite songs.
GAME ONE
GAME ONE is another freestyle (like how most of my songs originate), which delves into a specific space: Keeping your intuition sharp among bells and whistles so that you're able to remove yourself from any situation, belief system, or way of life that doesn't ultimately serve you. It often serves a small group of people, who are cunningly manipulative.
"It's all for a good cause": From the POV of the manipulators. Lying about their intentions with you; putting on a front to hook you into their game.
"Take one, check": From the POV of you, the awakened being who can spot it instantly, and remove yourself - focusing on what would bring you love, joy, and abundance.
Less deeply, it's a fun dance bop.
MAGIC
MAGIC originated from the state of falling in love. It truly feels like a magical world overlays the current one - the rose colored glasses are on, SHARP.
You're in the state where you still don't realize you're wearing them.
This is a beautiful state. But can be dangerous.
But this song really is meant to be a beautiful tribute to the sacredness of that experience.
PURE IMAGINATION
Originally written by Anthony Newley and Leslie Briscusse, I take my own "spin" on the production.
This song has always resonated deeply with me.
In my interpretation, I wanted the muted vocals to imbue the feeling of your subconscious / higher self. A part of your self that contains the ultimate wisdom: how powerful we truly are to create the Heaven we wish to experience.
Focus on what you wish to create.
DISCO
DISCO is meant to be a cheeky, yet serious, call-out. Those who are behind-the-scenes are coming into light. No more shadow will be able to hide in the New Earth. We are all coming into this energy beginning in 2024.
"Settle down, I'm the baddest bitch in town" is kind of making fun of myself, yet lifting myself up at the same time. I am fully aware I am not *the* baddest bitch, because we ALL are our own baddest bitch. It is simply meant to be repeated and believed by the speaker of the words. Unlocking our own best version and believing in ourselves.
It's about bringing awareness within, lifting ourselves up, letting go of the mental shackles which are fully programmed within us from those who wear the "disguise". Their disguise is now in plain sight. Their full of fear, lack, and separation.
WE know that we are limitless beings who can only be bound by what we BELIEVE we can be bound by. Let's choose a higher frequency narrative, shall we?
"Let's go to the Disco" is a nod to the literal and metaphorical battle occurring between the light and dark. But perspective is everything - see it as a dance. Focus on the higher vibrations. Don't give your power away or energy to the lower frequency. Emit this good energy out to everyone in this dance floor, city, country, and world.
TROPICAL PLANET
Produced SOLEY on my Novation Launchpad.
all a gift
The final single released on all platforms off my debut album, "all a gift" explores the dynamic of polarity: good, bad, positive, negative. After experiencing both, if you're able to accept it for what it is, the experience can transform in front of your eyes. Especially if you have learned to always LOOK FOR THE GIFT. Inside everything, including "negative" experiences, includes a token which can be seen as positive. It may either be a lesson, or something that turns out BETTER than it would've if it had "gone well". This is the primary message behind the song.
I speak from a place of this awareness. While many things in my life haven't gone to plan, and while I've experienced much heartache, loss, and disappointments (like we all have), I can clearly see how it was ALL working for my ultimate good. It's truly, if we have the eyes to see it, all a gift. Love being the primary force through it all.
NOTE: This isn't to discount war, or trauma, or horrible experiences. But there is a Higher Power working through us at all times which we can call upon. And with our collective power and energy, we can shift current events. It's about focusing on what we can do to bring ultimate good, not focusing on what we can't.
PEACEFUL CONTACT,
SPACE FAIRY
