Kingston Talent – Rachel Rabin

Whilst walking through Kingston Square Market the other day

I came across a budding young singer who goes by the name of Rachel Rabin and I

was fascinated to find out that she was actually from Kingston. I was

interested in finding out more about her music so I visited her MySpace on www.myspace.com/rachelrabin and

listened to all of her tracks.

Having listened to all the tracks on Rachel Rabin’s MySpace,

I had recognised that her voice and the quality of her music was actually very

good and I particularly liked the songs, ‘Dreams are Calling’ and ‘My way back

home’. In my opinion I would say that the music produced by Rachel Rabin comes

under the category of pop music and the sound which her music creates can be

likened to a mixture between that of Amy Winehouse and Duffy. After listening

to Rachel Rabin’s music I also realised that her music has a mainly acoustic

sound with most of her music being made up of string instruments such as the

guitar together with the addition of the keyboard/piano.

Once I had had a good listen to the music, I then passed it

on to some of my friends and family. I have to say the majority of them

approved of Rachel Rabin’s music, with the odd exception of one or two people

who did not like it. This says a lot for the music as I asked people of all

different ages such as my brother, my mum as well as some of my own friend what

they thought of the music and therefore not only shows that the music is of

good quality but also that Rachel Rabin’s songs can appeal to all ages.

Finally, I would just like to say that I think the people of

Kingston should be proud that Kingston can produce such wonderful talent and

they shouldn’t hesitate to support all the talent that is coming out of

Kingston.
