Carolee Rainey – Serendipity (2022)

Nature can be a powerful teacher that helps us overcome many problems we face and find a sense of inner strength. This is something that Carolee Rainey considers in her single ‘Serendipity’, while considering the unpredictable behaviours of humans. Drawing on the power of the sun, moon and rain, she looks to wash away inner weaknesses that hold us back and step forward with the renewed power that nature can provide.

A musician who is unafraid to forge her own path, Rainey draws on her own experiences and lust for life to bring a powerful vibe to her music. As a teenager, she attended a music conservatory before packing a bag and heading out west. After moving to California and touring with various bands, she settled into a job in A&R, before returning to making her own music.



The twinkling energy of nature makes its way into the opening of ‘Serendipity’. There is a feeling of awakening to the melody as the energy of the Earth makes its way into your senses and soothes any rough edges it can find. As the melody progresses, the flow of drums and the sparkle of the higher levels bring a sense of peace to your soul. Woven into this peace is a light bounce that has you smiling and feeling much lighter. There is a fusion of sound in the melody, with a dusting of folk resting over moving rock beats and a touch of uplifting pop. This fusion is delightful and takes the messaging of the single to a new dimension while filling you with the power of the world around us.

As the energy of nature slowly makes its way into your veins and soul through the melody, Rainey’s vocals draw the power toward you. Through her performance, she reaches out into the aura of the world and opens our spirits up to the good vibes that we need. Her performance brings an invigorating feeling to the single as she sheds the inner weakness of fear that holds us all back. As you listen to her performance, you will feel the hold of your own fear start to loosen, leaving your chest noticeably lighter. It is a wonderful single that has you breathing easily and looking forward to life without any worries. The chorus is quite catchy and will get stuck in your brain for a really long time.
