In the Rain - Edie Yvonne (Indie Pop). With “In the Rain”, Edie Yvonne delivers a bittersweet record, full of pathos. Sonically, it’s a tasty blend of pop and folk with a sprinkle of country inspirations throughout—a genre blending recipe that creates a timeless sound. Kicking off with guitar strums, images of sun creeping through the foliage on a humid day are conjured, and the beautiful melancholy of the song is delivered by the inviting descending chord progression in the chorus and the tightly delayed vocal. There’s a fuzzy analog quality to this record as well—we personally think it would make a great vinyl. Finally, with the telephone EQ on the wistful vocal at the bridge, Edie solidifies herself as an artist who understands how to use a light touch on production to evoke the strongest of emotions.

Best Lyric: “Please let me go. Go.”
