On 26th May 2023, Reel People release the Blue Lab Beats remixes of Deja Vu. Featuring Grammy-nominated US singer-songwriter Raheem DeVaughn, the track is taken from Reel People’s first original album in over a decade, Love2.

Raheem DeVaughn

Produced by core collective Oli Lazarus, Mike Patto and Toni Economides, and with a fresh vocal line-up including Raheem DeVaughn, Muhsinah, Chantae Cann, Michael Champion, Paula, Jill Rock Jones, Eric Roberson and Arrested Development’s Speech, this super-fine, 10-track opus marks a further powerful evolution of the Reel People sound. Weaving contemporary R&B sensibilities into the collective’s classic grooved-out flow, Love2 embraces the out-and-out euphoria of love but offers an entirely unique voice.
