Lu.Re - Rains

Introducing London-based newcomer Lu.Re, who has today released her debut single called "Rains." With her sweetly seductive voice laid atop a garage-driven instrumental, "Rains" evokes the hazy sound of summer. Self-written, self-recorded and self-produced in her flat in Bethnal Green, this release marks the emergence of a compelling new artist.

Speaking on the single, Lu.Re says:

"I started out improvising with a garage beat and some jazz piano chords, and built the rest up from there. I recorded all the instrumentals in my flat in East London. If you listened to the viola and backing vocals separately, you'd probably hear some Overground trains passing by. The lyrical idea came from my mum when I was at home for the weekend in Bedford. She was a bit teary-eyed and said something like, 'it doesn’t rain in this house, it pours.' It was one of those affecting moments that sticks, and it felt natural writing about it - I had most of the lyrics down in an afternoon."

A classically trained musician, Lu.Re marries her technical prowess with a lyrical sensibility. Lu.Re draws from a wealth of musical and cultural inspirations and her acute flair for storytelling weaves these together with a distinct authenticity that stands firmly in her own lane.
