Experience the Heartfelt Journey of Ian Rae and Ellie-Lou Baillie’s Melodic Fusion in Rainbow Bridge

Ian Rae and Ellie-Lou Baillie’s emotional storytelling in Rainbow Bridge encapsulates the essence of Folk Pop and Singer-Songwriter Band genres

When it comes to creating heartfelt music that resonates with both young and old, Ian Rae and Ellie-Lou Baillie stand out as remarkable talents in the Folk Pop and Singer-Songwriter Band genres. Hailing from Kenley, England, Ian Rae’s music has a timeless quality that effortlessly blends classical influences with modern sensibilities.

Ian Rae, now 77, was born in Glasgow and has called London home for almost five decades. Inspired by his daughter Fiona, he began creating videos on TikTok in 2021, quickly accumulating a devoted follower base. His initial amateurish approach gradually turned into a heartfelt journey, encouraging a wave of listeners to appreciate his compositions on Spotify.

His first album, “Beyond the Clouds,” has managed to secure an astounding 625K streams, out of which the title track alone accounts for 350K. You can listen to our full playlist which contains the artist’s music, and know more about the artist by scrolling down the page.


“Ian Rae’s ability to transcend time through his compositions is nothing short of extraordinary. His music touches the soul and bridges generational gaps,” we acclaimed at PopHits.Co.

One of Ian’s standout releases is “Rainbow Bridge,” a poignant album born from personal loss but teeming with universal emotions. The album features both instrumental and vocal tracks, with Ellie-Lou Baillie’s soulful voice adding depth to the song “Rainbow Bridge.” Rae and Baillie’s captivating synergy brings to mind other great duos in the genre like Simon & Garfunkel and The Civil Wars, effortlessly blending Folk Pop and a modern Singer-Songwriter Band feel.

Though primarily known for his piano prowess—having played the instrument for 67 years—Ian Rae’s versatility shows through his diverse artistic endeavours. From writing his first song at age 14 to crafting musicals performed at prominent theaters in England, his prolific output knows no bounds. Notably, he even composed library music for Sony/EMI used in various radio and television productions. “Goodbye Little Friend,” a heartwarming nod to his late dog Tallulah, includes tracks such as “Dog Tired” and “Side by Side” and is a testament to his ability to channel deeply personal experiences into universal music.

Ian Rae’s musical journey is both eclectic and inspiring. His influences, including the Gershwins, Cole Porter, and Carpenters, imbue his work with a rich tonal diversity, echoing through his TikTok performances and resonating in his Spotify streams. His willingness to experiment—even attempting a blindfolded piano session—is a testament to his adventurous spirit and musical dedication. With 350K streams for the title track “Beyond the Clouds” and immense contributions to charity (over £25K in just three years), Ian Rae’s impact extends beyond music into meaningful social contributions.

Ellie-Lou Baillie’s collaboration with Ian, especially on “Rainbow Bridge,” highlights her own unique vocal abilities that complement Rae’s compositions perfectly. Their combined effort creates an unparalleled listening experience, rich in emotion and technical skill. We urge all music lovers to immerse themselves in the world of Ian Rae and Ellie-Lou Baillie by exploring their catalogues on Website, Spotify, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

Inviting you to delve into their world, like, listen, and share our curated playlist, where you can experience the magic of Ian Rae and Ellie-Lou Baillie for yourself. Their music isn’t just a collection of songs; it’s a journey that bridges past and present, emotion and expression, crafted intricately in the heart of Kenley, England.
