RATIONALE is a genuine force of nature. Someone so intense you can feel every single hair just rise whenever he takes to the microphone (check both videos of him performing live recently). Well today, the London-based singer-songwriter has more on the plate. In the form of his latest single “Palms”, from his upcoming self-titled album due out on September 23rd via Warner Bros. Records. and Best Laid Plans.
“Palms” is as strong as his previous work. With the recurrent heartfelt emotions he pours into them, it’s no surprise the Zimbabwe born artist has risen to fame in the past year. Bringing his unique blend of soulful jams, powerful cuts and intricate production style to the table.
Not to mention the huge tour he has on for the summer, crossing the United States in June, coming back for festival season in the UK and Europe. He is sure to win over a big bunch of hearts over the remainder of the year right up until the release of his anticipated self-titled album at the end of September (23rd that is).
