Easy Rain’s latest album offering, Rhythm of the Storm, may clock in at a concise twenty-three minutes, but it’s a concentrated burst of musicality from start to finish. The music is a blend of electronic and organic music and the artist cites Lotus, Papadosio and Perpetual Groove as influences.
Kicking off the album is “Euphoria,” setting the tone with an ethereal blend of deep beats and arpeggiated synths that evoke a cosmic journey through celestial pathways—a compelling opener that beckons the listener into the album’s universe. Transitioning into “Moments,” the album settles into a jazzy soundscape, blossoming with lush melodies and standout guitar work.
It strikes a balance between calming vibes and a spirited energy—a delightful blend that captivates. “Just Fantasy” elevates the tempo, its beats seemingly crafted for a late-night club ambiance, yet it retains a lounge-y allure, offering a paradoxical mix of serenity and dance-inducing rhythms, resulting in an enlightening musical experience. The anticipation builds with the funk and disco-infused “Magic Oasis,” while “Another Dimension” serves as the album’s chill pinnacle, offering a stress-relieving escape worth delving into.
“Vibes” continues the sonic exploration, weaving a cosmic tapestry of celestial sounds that resonate harmoniously. The album culminates powerfully with “Danky Janky” and the sophisticated yet accessible “Master Class.” Easy Rain demonstrates remarkable cohesion in this release—a fluidity that enhances the immersive experience when listened to in its entirety. Rhythm of the Storm is a seamless journey inviting listeners to immerse themselves fully in its musical universe. Take a listen and be transported.
