We previously featured Alessia De Gasperis as she manifested spiritual protection with her atmospheric trip-hop adjacent single, Evil Eye, so when we heard that the talented artist was back with Rain in the Summer, we couldn’t wait to listen and share our experience.
Establishing the mood with subtle rain sounds, a minimalist melody and stunning, layered vocals, Alessia opens Rain in the Summer with atmospheric nuance and elegance. The opus expands with introspective lyricism and a dimensional production as Alessia takes us on a transcendental journey with the conceptual opus.
We appreciate the sublime nature of what the talented creator is bringing to life, and her luscious timbre, as well as the more escapist highs in her range. The prose is relatable, yet clearly authentically personal to the rising star.
Speaking on the release, Alessia confesses, “When people say ‘relationships are hard work’, what I feel they really mean is that they will show you yourself. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Rain In The Summer is about that moment. That moment when we are faced with the parts of ourselves that scare us.”
Written by Alessia De Gasperis and produced by Alessia De Gasperis and Isaac Valenzuela, Rain in the Summer takes us on a deeply emotional and soulful journey. Alessia’s poetic depth and evocative imagery capture ephemeral emotions, reflecting love and introspection. The lush, atmospheric production creates an intimate and cohesive soundscape that fans of Frank Ocean and Solange will be able to connect with.
We have added Rain in the Summer to our New Music Spotlight playlist, as well as our new TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream Evil Eye and Flow, and anticipate future releases from Alessia De Gasperis!
