Rainy Days - Raven Ives (Pop) Raven Ives’ latest, “Rainy Days,” is an intoxicating track, drawing the listener in with a silky smooth vocal and pulsing wall of synth strings. The arrangement is understated, which perfectly suits the message of the song—a broody, haunting tale of the end of a romance. Cutting through the synths is a tight percussion arrangement with the crystal clear twinkling of piano occasionally adding a top note to an otherwise dark soundscape. Raven’s vocals are emotive and passionate, while exercising restraint, which help cast the hypnotic spell of this contemplative record. This is one of those “turn off the lights and lay on the floor” listening sessions.
Best Lyric: “The night kills away the moments. Every footstep out of line.”
