French Lobster – Rainy Night (2022)
There are times when you just need the calming sound of a rainy night to calm your senses. French Lobster is providing an instrumental version of this through his aptly titled single ‘Rainy Night’. This instrumental track uses a wonderful combination of soft rock and lo-fi hip-hop to bring a chilled vibe to your soul and let you relax into the easy movement.
While you are chilling out to the sound of the single, there is a little dance of psychedelic rock that adds a unique flavour to the sound. From the musical brain of Gregory Dupont, this musical project moves away from the more singer-songwriter style rock of his background and into something entirely new. Packing some arty vibes into lo-fi hip-hop, he is pumping something completely unique into the musical world.
‘Rainy Night’ brings the chilled vibes of the music to your ears from the first note. There is an easiness to the opening movement that fills your muscles with a feeling of lethargy, making them heavy. The steady beat making its way through the low level of the melody has a light shuffle to it that softens it. As it leads you down the melody, there are moments where it changes its rhythm to allow the higher instrumental layers to ease through your senses. The instrumentation of the single is gentle and does a wonderful job of reminding you of a rainy night where the rain drizzles down on the pavement with a tender patter. There is no way that you can listen to this track and not feel an almost sleepy peace fill your senses, relaxing tense muscles and chasing away the strain of the day.
While the beats lead you through the melody, it is the higher layers of instrumentation that really make the track. The guitar is a river of sound that gently bubbles against your skin. As it enters, the guitar reaches out into the rainy night illuminated by the street lights and highlights the reflections in the puddles that form. You can hear a light touch of soft rock on the guitars as they beautifully sing their gentle song through the melodic lines. They merge so perfectly with the hip-hop-influenced beats, while the lo-fi sensibilities of the production soften the overall movement. It is a stunningly sophisticated production that you can listen to when you need to unwind or whenever you are feeling a little stressed.
Through the gentle lo-fi tones of ‘Rainy Night’, French Lobster has your muscles relaxing, your mind destressing and the soft patter of rain calming your soul. The instrumental track is truly stunning as it washes over you with a soft caress that takes all the tension from your body. If you need to relax or just want a single that can soothe the jagged edges of your soul, this is definitely the one for you.
