Ralph Essentials

Somewhere between the spandex effervescence of ‘80s pop, the propulsive strut of ’90s house, and the stylized exuberance of mid-2000s electro-dance, you’ll find Ralph (née Raffa Wayman). A millennial with an expansive sensibility, the Toronto singer/songwriter makes music for 21st-century retro dance parties. She earnestly embraces buoyant melodies and shiny production. Listen to the sweet, glittery chorus and sleek drums of “Cold to the Touch,” the Carly Rae Jepsen-esque reverie “Tommy,” the deeply committed cover of “Crush”—these tracks graze the edges of camp without falling overboard.
