Rising Pop Star Rachel Grae Tugs At Your Heartstrings with “Love Me Like The First Time”

Friday, October 20 - Named a “rising star” by People Magazine, Rachel Grae is one of this year’s fastest growing talents - Rolling Stone also called her an artist you should have On Your Radar. Today, she’s released beautifully heartbreaking single “Love Me Like The First Time”. In Rachel’s signature fashion, the song reads like a journal entry, vulnerable and not shying away from the heartbreak of losing the spark. On TikTok, she shared a teaser, bringing her best friend to tears. Grae will often share teasers and song drafts with her fans, who she lovingly calls her “friend base” as a way to share in her songwriting process.

Listen/Stream “Love Me Like The First Time”

The single follows Grae’s previous ripped-from-her-diary songs, like “Outsider” with 25.5M streams, touching ode to loss, “Hope You’re Proud”, heartfelt ballad dedicated to complicated Mother-Daughter relationships, “Daughter” (People), mad girl starter pack single “You Suck” and “How Dare You,” performed for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and featured on the season finale of Love Island UK.

With a powerful voice beyond her years, drawing comparisons from Olivia Rodrigoto Adele, and vulnerable songwriting, Rachel has grown over 150M streams & 1.3M fans across socials in the blink of an eye. With praise from media like People, Rolling Stone, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, PopDust, Flaunt and more, the self taught pianist/singer-songwriter is reaching a broader audience by the week. She interacts with people every day through TikTok & beyond, helping fans through personal issues, leaking new songs that they help shape, and doing what she loves most, connecting through music.
