Evelí Ray implores you to embrace the nature in you with her new single, “Like Wolves.” A singer, songwriter, and composer, Evelí Ray seeks out purpose in her inner self and acceptance of whatever lies within as a woman while discoursing unity like a pack of wolves lost in the forest simultaneously in her single. Inspired by Clarrissa Pinkola Estes’ “Women Running With The Wolves,” Evelí derives a similar force in her alternative art pop/world music single, “Like Wolves.”
Evelí Ray flourishes Nordic sounds blowing with wolves and so much more of nature’s amalgamation in the background noise. In many of her musical compositions, you will find a combination of natural elements with organic instruments from her home country like ney, oud, duduk, quenacho, and Bombo legüero with more conventional ones. These pieces synthesize like the final piece with ambient electronic music and drums, electric guitar, violins, percussion, and double bass.
Evelí Ray’s sensuous vocals in “Like Wolves,” with that cold edge vacillating, show off her range and the immense control she has over it. Her chorus ending with, “Like a river flowing into the sea, I surrender to that peace in me,” delivers a sensual assurance to the message behind her lyricism. As a well-traveled, cultured woman, Evelí Ray recalls racism and hate crimes in her experience in her verse: “Mountains of fear/In this foreign land/No place to hide/Forgiveness is rare.”
But nothing’s stopping us when our spirits are strong despite the darkness beleaguering us. Listen to “Like Wolves” by Evelí Ray on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Bandcamp, and Amazon Music.
