Raglan’s Reiki Ruawai Drops Bitter-Sweet, Uplifting New Tune ‘In Time’
June 14th, 2024
Aotearoa’s Reiki Ruawai is on a winning streak, releasing ‘In Time’ – his second single of 2024.
‘In Time’ is the latest from R&B/Soul artist Reiki as the Raglan native pays homage to the smooth sounds of Motown. After the success of ‘All I Need’ (co-written with Jordan Rakei), which received top 10 NZ Airplay chart, alongside key support with publications including Rolling Stone and VICE – Reiki is back with another soulful track, blending together Reiki’s powerful vocals with captivating lyrics about “falling in love with your best friend.”
‘In Time’ was co-written and produced with Joel Jones on Auckland’s North Shore overlooking Takapuna Beach. “It was such a bliss place to write,” says Reiki.
‘In Time’ and ‘All I Need’ both keep with the rising R&B/soul singer and songwriter’s signature style but also see Reiki further honing his songwriting talents. “I think they show off more of my own variety in writing and music-making, which I’m stoked on,” he says.
