Today we are delving deeper into the world of Bryanna Rain’s new album “Lavenderwax” and discovering an artist crafting emotionally expressive rhythmic expeditions.
We’re taken back from the first moments of Bryanna Rain’s aptly titled new album, “Lavenderwax.” The opening track shares the name of the record, easing listeners into a universe of sentimental beauty. Warm piano and synth arpeggios drift by, wafting like the foggy aura of the album’s namesake scent.
From there, “#Blaming Simar/Pandemica” emerges with a dreamlike quality. Rain’s vocals float softly above radiant electronics, pulling us into a fascinating world. But don’t be fooled by the gentle beginning – this song takes an abrupt turn into a heavy electronic banger halfway through. The layered textures and shifting dynamics keep listeners guessing, mirroring the ups and downs we’ve all faced in this “pandemica” reality.
The true centerpiece of the album comes next with “GhostBaby(Ectoplasma)/Blaming Vedant/Theme From B+E (Adventures).” It kicks off with a low, ominous effect-infused voice that quickly sets an otherworldly mood. From there, synths and beats fold over each other like a mysterious séance, transporting the listener to supernatural realms. Rain’s soulful delivery cuts through the haze, her lyrics exploring human desires and regrets. “Chemical reaction, physical attraction, animal nature, nocturnal behavior,” the lyrics go over the pounding rhythm.
Across “Lavenderwax,\” the production floats between hazy textures and intricate dance beats, uniting acoustic and electronic styles into a cohesive whole.
Even the album’s theme of lavender connects its imagery. Like the soothing flower, the artist offers an aromatic escape through her dreamy compositions and emotive vocals. After traversing Rain’s lavender-tinted worlds, it’s a serene end to a creatively crafted musical odyssey.
