exploring mental health challenges and creative joy

Full LP ‘DO YOU’ out November 28^th on [PIAS] Électronique - Save it HERE

Felix Raphael, Berlin’s live artist/producer/multi-instrumentalist/vocalist, gives a third intriguing taste of his forthcoming themed album ‘DO YOU’ with single ‘Sincerity (a piece right of your soul)’ out now on [PIAS] Électronique. The full LP drops on November 28^th. 

LP ‘DO YOU’:  the mental health theme, using Raphael’s own challenges and social work experience to help others inside or outside the music industry, is ultimately positive, celebrating the joy of creativity & performance. In four ‘stanzas’ or phases, he highlights issues like comparison with others; professional ups and downs; music industry expectations; and the need to accept ourselves, to care for our mental health through openness, therapy, and seeking happiness in simple things. 

Raphael’s multiple talents are ideal for such a project, with his engaging, heart-stirring blend of melodic & organic house with indie folk elements, purpose-designed for live performance where he plays guitar, piano, synth, & saxophone and deploys his rich, warm vocal gifts. He even learned to play flugelhorn for the LP, as a ribbon of sound subtly tying the tracks together, its soft ‘brass band’ vibe both warm and soulful. 

‘Sincerity (a piece right of your soul)’: pin-sharp production ensures the rich layering of strands remains distinct, as rippling synth patterns, piano phrases, swift breaksy percussion, move up and down like scattered arps, reflecting the highs & lows of experience. The indie feel is strong, especially in Raphael’s rich, warm, emotional vocal and heartfelt lyrics.

‘’Sincerity (a piece right of your soul)’ marks the rare moments when expression feels unfiltered, untouched, and entirely true. Through music and art, it’s possible to leave behind something more than sound or paint - it’s a mark that carries the essence of who we are. It’s the beauty of knowing that honesty in creation is eternal, a footprint that will never fade.’
