Avery Raquel delivers a soul and vulnerability into new single
Toronto songstress Avery Raquel unveils a powerful new chapter in her story with the release of “Like The Rain”, a track that falls as freely as the title implies, yet carries the weight of a storm, drawing listeners down into a universe where intimacy and groove are intertwined.
It’s just another day at work for the musician behind “Golden Girl,” who continues to evolve his sound on the smooth, bubbling number. “Like The Rain”, driven by a played-down, moody rhythm section with shades of synths and poppy keys that rain down against one another, showcases Avery’s voice, at once smooth and soulful, as the unarguable centrepiece, softly fragile yet with a hidden strength, much like the rain with which she so vividly parallels feelings.
What makes “Like The Rain” click is the combination of the track’s lyrical poetry and sonic texture. The songwriting can feel fiercely intimate but universal, applying to the push and pull of relationships, the randomness of emotion. Like a downpour that cleans, floods, or soothes, Avery portrays the nuances of human attachment in a manner that’s down-and-dirty and utterly refreshing. Her delivery is never full-throated; it draws listeners in closer, encourages them to feel the space between the words, and to float along on the rhythm of what she’s talking about. Avery Raquel creates an entire universe with “Like The Rain”. For longtime fans, it’s a celebration of her ever-evolving artistry, a fitting introduction to an instrument that sounds at once fresh and deeply lived in.
