| RHAIN releases new single ahead of End Of The Road and other festivals... Here's the second single from RHAIN - on Soundcloud now and due for full digital release on 8th July. LISTEN HERE: https://soundcloud.com/rhainmusic/josephine Over the next few months she's playing a number of shows including a slot at End of the Road Festival and a special event at Cecil Sharp House supporting Lucy Rose. Isle of Wight (& sometimes Bristol) resident RHAIN is currently a bit of a hidden gem. Her huge vocal and inimitable charm recently won the favour of Alex Lee (Florence & The Machine), Ali Chant (Youth Lagoon) and John Parish (PJ Harvey) at a show in Bristol. With Ali behind the desk, John on drums & Alex on guitar, RHAIN's debut single 'Humdrum Drivel' was immortalised in a surreal moment that was never imagined from the outset. Follow-up 'Josephine' was recorded with Ali in the same sessions, bringing in his friend Drew Morgan to assist with a string arrangement, which helps lead the song to an almighty climax. Everyone in the studio was left stunned after RHAIN finished her vocal take on this performance. It was almost as though she'd been possessed by a pair of unearthly creatures for the duration of the song; each taking on a different persona.

One of Bristol's best-kept secrets, it's only a matter of time before RHAIN takes the world for her own." Drowned in Sound "Rhain, with a wicked sense of humour and a vocal register that could probably shatter a coffee mug. As her wandering voice propelled musings on love, witty observations on family life and a well-timed Pavlova simile around the room, we left feeling sultry, stoned and surrounded by whispered Björk comparisons." Crack Magazine "There are touching points here – Kate Bush perhaps being the most pertinent – but to constantly reach for comparisons seems somewhat lazy and missing-of-the-point when something this special comes along."
