About Allan Rayman
"Whoever Allan Rayman is, he’s made a hell of a body of work so far. The Wyoming born, Toronto based artist has delivered one head-scratching, hypnotic and heavenly project after another, including 'Hotel Allan', 'Roadhouse 01', and the unforgettable 'CHRISTIAN'.
Along the way, he generated over 250 million streams, sold out tours in Europe, The United States and Canada, and shined at festivals, including Reading & Leads, Bonnaroo, and Lollapalooza, and somehow,in the midst of this whirlwind, he gained a newfound clarity and applied it to finishing 'Roadhouse02' during the Global Pandemic.
Every side of Rayman shines on 'Roadhouse02'. Thematically inspired by Kurt Vonnegut’s classic 'Slaughterhouse-Five', Rayman sonically nods back to the nocturnal R&B of his early work. The thirteen-track album focuses on the musician’s career to date; being signed and dropped, to the feeling of not being “the right guy for the job” and the struggle of finding positivity in all this negative space. Touching on maturity and the revelations that come with it, Rayman becomes unstuck in time and is shown his life and what's to come of it if he continues to let Mr. Roadhouse have full control. It ultimately leads to depression and unfortunately death. 'Roadhouse02'is Rayman being shown his options and having to make the decision on where he wants his life to go."
