Savannah Ré

Savannah Ré’s melancholy relationship songs take the form of a slow and stylish R&B that’s intimate musically as well as lyrically. Her first set of songs, Opia, appeared in 2020; she won a Juno Award for the track “Solid.”
A singer and songwriter raised and based in Toronto, Ré’s hypnotic songwriting bent draws focus to her emotive vocal performances. Reaction to her earliest songs led to a tour with Jessie Reyez in late 2018, and the chance to record with Grammy Award-winning producer Boi-1da (Cardi B, Lana Del Rey). He co-produced her debut, the nine-track Opia, with Ré’s husband, YogiTheProducer (Kehlani, Jessie Reyez). It arrived on Universal Music Canada in November 2020. The following year, Opia was longlisted for the Polaris Music Prize, and “Solid” won a Juno for Traditional R&B/Soul Recording of the Year (“Where You Are” was nominated in the Contemporary R&B/Soul Recording of the Year category). ~ Marcy Donelson
