Starting her career right out of Brit school, Phoebe quickly gained attention from The Other Songs’ Alastair and Billy Webber and in 2018 was selected by BBC Introducing to perform at Truck Festival. Following a break spurred by complicated management deals and a worldwide pandemic, Phoebe has broken free from industry expectations and is stepping into an innovative new form Phoebe Rea reps a fresh sound, blending pop ballads with nu-jazz and electronic elements, her new genre-bending sound is here to illuminate a timeless, sophisticated pop sound. Boasting soulful vocals as big as her hair, her new single 'Easier' exudes an effortless elegance, irresistible to vintage and new audiences alike. Cinematic, melancholic, and unapologetic, ‘Easier’ is an anthem to heartbreak and simultaneously the mending of hearts everywhere. Her highly anticipated debut album is set for release later in 2025.
