Reeya Banerjee's Emotional Map of Memory and Survival Album "This Place"

With her second full-length album, This Place, Whippany-based singer-songwriter Reeya Banerjee is attempting to see herself as a vibrant voice in the canon of modern indie rock. The nine songs on This Place combine to form a personal, yet relatable journey that uses outer spaces to represent heartbreak, healing, and self-actualization during a difficult passage of time. Each song stands for a point in her emotional map from the last ten years while still being honest and cinematic.







Produced by her long-time collaborator Luke Folger and engineered by James Rubino at Lorien Sound Recording Studios in Brooklyn, NY, This Place builds from the intimate rawness of Banerjee's 2022 debut album The Way Up. Her debut focused on the recovery of chronic mental illness, while her new effort widens the viewport. 






With a balance of power pop, post-grunge textures, and arena-sized arrangements that complement her strong vocal melodies, she is demonstrating her voice once again. While there are influences of Bruce Springsteen, Fiona Apple, U2, and even Alanis Morissette undercurrents flowing through the recordings, one knows it’s a Reeya Banerjee album as her voice is unmistakably literary, emotionally potent, and brave.






The singles reveal the album’s range: 'Misery of Place' depicts grief with jagged guitars; 'Runner' moves forward with restless urgency; and 'Upstate Rust' has already become something of a breakout anthem, a song with a soaring hook that is already resonating with people far from her hometown scene. In the end, This Place is more than an album; it is a statement of resilience. Banerjee alchemizes memory into melody and shows that even in moments of displacement, music can build a home of its own.
