About REL
R E L is LA based artist Arielle Sitrick. She describes her music as EVOCA-POP – a genre the young singer-songwriter created in 2016, derived from “evocative” and “pop.” In short, REL creates music that makes you think and feel. In 2015, she released a crowd-funded debut EP called r.e.l., which garnered notable praise from music bloggers, industry and fans.
R E L invented her own genre because she believes categories force something (and someone) into a mold. She believes no one fits a mold exactly, it can be dangerous to try or to think you are supposed to.
“I grew up in the suburbs, where we tried so hard to fit the molds. We hurt ourselves, hated ourselves, f*cked ourselves over. I did it for a long time. It hurt…and it doesn’t just exist in suburbs. We do it everywhere. Music is medicine. It’s powerful. Love heals, melody carries, lyrics speak the heart. “
