THE BLEND of dance-friendly, Western R&B with Indian instrumentation may be what sets Indian-American musician Raveena apart from the other indie pop singers that arose in the mid-2010s. But with her latest outing released just a month ago, Where the Butterflies Go in the Rain<\/i>, she proves that it is also the unyielding light and warmth she fills her music with, despite all the harshness going on in the world right now, that is unique to her.<\/span><\/p>\n

Known to be a more experimental, oftentimes gritty, and more \u201cauthentic\u201d genre as compared to mainstream pop, the psychedelic indie, soul, and R&B sounds that Raveena plays with have never felt lighter. <\/span><\/p>\n

Like her two previous albums, Where the Butterflies Go in the Rain<\/i> showcases dance-able tracks and heartwarming ballads, but dives deep into themes of love, maturity, comfort.<\/span><\/p>\n

Raveena\u2019s vocals are airy and sweet, accompanied by the electric sitar, as she likens her partner to a butterfly and tells of love that may soon disappear. \u201cWatching smoke turn into clouds from the backseat \/ I pray this good thing don\u2019t run away from me,\u201d she sings in the album\u2019s first track, \u201cPluto.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The next one is just as soothing and coated with her warm, honeyed voice. \u201cLucky\u201d once again dwells on a deep, feminine love. Though not as engaging as the first song, the beautiful, almost Indian-style guitar plucking paired with the vocals makes for a relaxing background song.<\/p>\n

\u201cRise\u201d is the third track and a welcome shift in instrumentation, with steady drum beats and lush layers of piano and saxophone melodies. Striking, calming, and smooth like a good cocktail, it\u2019s a poignant tune that blends gospel and jazz influences as Raveena soulfully sings of peace for children caught amid the terrors of war.<\/span><\/p>\n

The fourth track, \u201cEvery Color,\u201d is a short yet cute and well-layered one that evokes South American guitar and drums, sounding slightly tropical. \u201cGive me sound of lovers, give me end of winter, give me every color,\u201d the lyrics go.<\/p>\n

\u201cBaby Mama\u201d follows with a sensual, playful mood, as Raveena sings \u201cCome on over and kiss me \/ Come on over and love me \/ Come on over and make love.\u201d It\u2019s a fun transition track that leans into R&B\u2019s often sexual undertones.<\/p>\n

The sixth song, \u201cJunebug,\u201d is a collaboration with rapper JPEGMAFIA (known by fans as Peggy), whose verse mixes surprisingly well with the softness of Raveena\u2019s style. They dwell on a summer love that may be a scam, with Peggy\u2019s verse going \u201cThink I\u2019m only present for the summer, that\u2019s pretending me \/ I\u2019m not above it, we smother each other\u2019s energy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

An easy favorite is \u201cLose My Focus,\u201d a repeatable track that begins with a harp-filled hook and a strong bridge. This is Raveena taking R&B to the most soothing, sweetest heights.<\/span><\/p>\n

Raveena then delivers a simple ballad, \u201cKid,\u201d that has a classical sitar open and leads into a standard acoustic guitar. \u201cCan\u2019t complain, but the hard times had good times that can\u2019t compare \/ It\u2019s different, but that kid is always here,\u201d she sings as a dreamy ode to childhood.<\/p>\n

The 10th<\/sup> track, \u201c16 Candles,\u201d is a collaboration with Ganavya, who provides airy backup vocals. It comes off as a country song with sparse instrumentation, a slightly weaker track but with its own charms as the two singers revisit teenage nostalgia.<\/p>\n

\u201cSmile For Me\u201d is a cute, upbeat pop song that has Raveena sing that \u201cseasons change; we still remain.\u201d Closing the album are \u201cLittle Bird\u201d and \u201cWater,\u201d an acoustic pairing with unique electronic production.<\/p>\n

Raveena\u2019s gentle strength truly flies high as she traverses genres, evoking the timeless talents of Stevie Wonder, Fleetwood Mac, and Corinne Bailey Rae.<\/p>\n

In a Reddit thread, she reveals to her fans that she set out in making this album \u201cwith the intention to create a body of work that sounded like sunlight and pure love.\u201d There is no doubt she has succeeded, with her latest offerings a perfect playlist for calming, mundane morning or evening routines, and proof of the transcendent power of music.<\/span><\/p>\n
