Avery Raquel – “The Letter” Single
“The Letter” captures the delicate moment when friendship begins to blur into love. Told from Avery’s perspective after receiving a handwritten letter from her close friend, the song explores the vulnerability of confessing hidden feelings, the fear of change, and the hope of something deeper. With Avery’s signature soul-infused delivery, “The Letter” blends emotional storytelling with tender melodies, pulling listeners into a timeless narrative of love, longing, and honesty.
Musically, the track is stripped back and intimate, allowing Avery’s warm, emotive vocals to take center stage. Gentle piano lines and subtle string-like elements give the song a classic ballad feel, while her modern alternative soul style keeps it fresh and relatable. It’s the kind of song that resonates across generations, evoking the quiet intensity of young love but with the depth and maturity of Avery’s songwriting.

Recently back from Europe, Canadian Billboard-charting recording artist, alternative soul singer, Avery Raquel, has entertained audiences professionally for over a decade. Having released 4 solo albums now to critical acclaim and airplay across North America and the world, her last self-titled release debuted on the Canadian iTunes Top 200 R&B/Soul album chart at #5. Five tracks from that album were finalists in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition in 2022, in 4 different categories, with one winning the Grand Prize in the Pop category.
That latest project of all original alternative soul is reminiscent of her love for R&B/Soul music of the past, but with a more current, contemporary style. Influenced by artists and songwriters such as Carole King, Amy Winehouse, Etta James, Lauryn Hill, Bruno Major, Allen Stone, and so many others, Avery’s created a collection of personal, yet relatable songs, a soulful, fun mix of R&B/soul and Pop, with a flavor of her jazz and blues experiences. That same sound can be found on her new single from her upcoming EP. Performing nationwide, including main-stage performing arts centers, renowned music festivals, club-style venues, and corporate events, Avery continues to wow ever-growing audiences with her fresh style and powerful vocal performances.
