Following a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised over $30,000, North Carolina’s alternative blues/soul artist Rebekah Todd recently announced the release of her sophomore full-length album, Crooked Lines, set for 2/17/17. Rebekah made this announcement along with the release of the album’s debut track, “Hustle,” a brilliant blend of pop and funk, leaving fans and new listeners anxious to hear more from this powerhouse vocalist. Answering their call, Rebekah Todd has partnered with Paste Magazine today to premiere her next single, “Let Me Prove My Love,” a sweet love song written from the purest emotion. Coining lyrics such as, “and I’d swim 5,000 miles if my body would let me,” this love song was written for Todd’s lover in Santiago, Chile. It’s a hopeful song, looking to the future and hoping that she could get a chance to pursue a relationship on the same continent with her beautiful, distant lover. “They say that flying’s the hard part, but I say it’s harder touching the ground,” alludes to a common theme in Rebekah’s writing, as the artist brain tends to take over and throw caution to the wind. Stream the beautiful new single here.

Growing up in the small town of Benson, North Carolina, Rebekah Todd has been surrounded by music for as long as she can remember. At 11 years old, Rebekah’s father, a musician himself, gave her a black acoustic Washburn guitar and taught her to play. Flooding the house with sounds of classic rock and folk, her father played everything from Pink Floyd to the Righteous Brothers, leading Rebekah to instantly find her musical niche somewhere between melodic soul and alternative folk rock. Growing into her soulful voice and and musical style, the singer-songwriter started to pull inspiration from a wide range of musical genres, citing passionate singer/songwriters like Lauryn Hill and Susan Tedeschi as her inspiration and shaping the music she writes and performs today. After receiving her bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from East Carolina University in 2012, Rebekah has been devoting her life to writing and touring. Currently based in Wilmington, North Carolina, Rebekah is a gifted performer with a natural, soulful, and effortless voice and two releases under her belt, releasing her debut EP, Forget Me Not, in 2011, and first LP, Roots Bury Deep, in 2014. Playing over 170 gigs in just 12 short months, her band Rebekah Todd & The Odyssey won the On The Rise series for FloydFest 2016 and are set to play the mainstage in 2017 alongside acts such as St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Shovels and Rope, and Turkuaz.
