Rising Estonian star RETI shares single ‘Shake’ from upcoming album
“Shake” is the new single from rising Estonian star RETI, alias of Reti Niimann, and it’s a straightforward, raw, disco-funk banger coming on Funk Embassy Records in anticipation of her upcoming debut album. The song came about unexpectedly—originally, RETI and producer Martin Laksberg went into the studio to refine a different track but a shift in mood caused a musical earthquake. “Shake” took form in just one day—a fast-paced, powerful, and unstoppable track that is an immediate earworm.
“I wrote ‘Shake’ with a strong desire to create a proper dance track. Something bold and powerful that would even get the shyest Estonian’s hips moving. I believe my greatest strength is performing live, so I tried to channel all that energy and intensity into this song as well”, says RETI.
RETI is a young R&B artist who can be described as Estonia’s soul princess, wielding a powerful voice, her musical style draws deeply from 70s soul and funk, while her energetic vocals and sparkling presence create a magical atmosphere at every performance. Since releasing her debut single “Tell Me” in February 2021, Niimann has steadily gained recognition. Her follow-up single “BUBBLEGUM” came out in March of the same year, and in July, “Fly with Me” was selected as the national public broadcaster Raadio 2‘s Demo of the Week. Her band has performed across Estonia, including appearances at Saaremaa’s Köiguste Festival and Rakvere FunkFest, and was selected for Jazzkaar 2024’s and Tallinn Music Week 2024’s main programme
“Shake” out digitally on March 28th 2025 via Funk Embassy Records
