Collaborations with cutting-edge artists/producers like Amber Navran (Moonchild) and MXXWLL
LA's talented singer-songwriter's latest work marks new territory

Raquel Rodriguez, an LA-based singer whose talent has captivated numerous top artists, has served as a backing vocalist for Gwen Stefani and Anderson .Paak, and opened for PJ Morton, Snoop Dogg, and Lizzo. Having previously released one EP and two albums through SWEET SOUL RECORDS, she is now releasing "Sweet Side," a Japan-exclusive album that adds bonus tracks to her two latest EPs.
The first single from this album, "Nobody Else," was created with Nate Williams, a member of Jamiroquai, whom Raquel cites as one of her most influential artists. It's a mid-tempo tune that sings about the importance of living your own life without comparing yourself to others. "Crybaby," produced by Australian songwriter/producer MXXWLL, is an exhilarating pop R&B track that feels like a clear blue sky opening up before you, with Raquel's airy vocals expressing the joy of releasing her emotions.
This album, which can be called new territory for her, also features new collaborations with artists and producers such as Amber Navran (Moonchild), Adam Deitch (Lettuce), and Leven Kali. At the same time, her collaboration with the production team she has worked with for many years, centered around producer SammyB, allows listeners to fully enjoy her consistent charm. Raquel Rodriguez has steadily progressed in her career, blending the earthy funk of the 70s, the glittering synth sounds of the 80s, and the sultry R&B of the 90s, creating a timeless sound that feels nostalgic but never old-fashioned, all while using her husky and emotional voice as her weapon. The day is not far off when listeners around the world will discover her talent and charm.
