Four years ago, Rationale came into view and with his first single “Fast Lane,” it seemed like that’s exactly how his career was going to go. However, after releasing two EPs, his debut album, and selling out his own headline tour as well as supporting some of the biggest British acts of the moment, Rationale somewhat disappeared. And maybe that was a little bit intentional. Now he’s returned with his new EP High Hopes and while it might be interpreted as a new direction for the singer-songwriter-producer, the results of the shimmery and bright production is just another facet of the multi-dimensional artist that he just hasn’t shown the world yet. THE RAD was the first outlet to interview him back in 2014 and four years is a long time to let people grow but also remain the same. On a Sunday back in October, before the release of High Hopes, Rationale hopped on the phone to talk about his creative process but also to simply catch up with an old friend.
