Presented are 3 of her most recent songs from her debut "Reprieve EP" Her single, "Nothing (Me & You)", is out now.

Nothing (Me & You) – the electric guitar takes tumbling dips, the drum crashes then the song goes full steam with added piano. What did you do to make someone leave you for several weeks? What happened? Come back. It was nothing. Rebekah’s voice sings with soft pleading. In this alternative song she shows strength with slight roughness which can only get stronger as she builds her abilities.

Reprieve – the electric guitar begins then falls into a darker stronger indie rock sound. You can hear from the lyrics she is clearly making her way down into the water. You can see the scenery as she sings of wanting to breathe above what has captured her. The music and her voice sounds richer. Blood mingles with the water. Who will save her? Are you listening?

Imagine – piano marches in a beat. A drum is added. This is a beautiful song that eventually builds. Does your life become richer when someone unexpectedly comes into your life? Can you imagine your life without the special moments? The day will come. Harmonies fill the air in such spectrum. This is an easy listening song that tugs at your heart time and time again.
