Bryanna Rain – Arcades, Aeroplanes (2022)
Bryanna Rain is bringing a serious blend of styles to our ears through the quirky tones of ‘Arcades, Aeroplanes’. With an experimental touch, she draws us into an electronic kaleidoscope that taps into some retro synthwave sensibilities. If you are looking for a single that is quite unlike anything else you are listening to, you are definitely in the right place. Bringing the moving energy of dance to the insatiable bop of glitch and electronic pop, she will have you moving while journeying into the electronic soundscape.
No newcomer to the music scene, Rain has been recording tracks for well over a decade and released her first solo EP at age 13. Not only a talented musician, she is also a published author, having released a picture book. Drawing on her love of video games and animals, she used them as inspiration for her debut.
‘Arcades, Aeroplanes’ draws you into a wash of video game vibes from the first burst of electronic tones. There is an adventurous journey woven into the melody that takes you through a range of different electronic styles. The ping of bright tones is met by a shake of heavier tones, while a moving pop of synthwave notes makes its way through the middle layers of the melody. It is an interesting melody that brings together a lot of different electronic tones for a kaleidoscope of neon colours. There is a lot of fun woven into the track that gets you moving to the rhythm that builds more and more the longer you listen. As the single progresses, there is a dancing vibe that slinks into your soul, urging your muscles to move to the rhythm of the track. The melody doesn’t really let up for a single moment, keeping you on the bridge of bright colours that reaches far into the distance.
While the melody is packed with an eclectic mixture of electronic tones, the vocals bring a smoother melodic flow to the track. Rain’s performance is like a vehicle driving down the rainbow bridge of the melody, taking you on the exciting journey of the track. There is a light echo to her performance at times that enhances the feeling of propelling forward through the soundscape. The melodic flow of her delivery is a wonderful complement to the paced electronic tones that gives the dancing vibes of the music a sense of direction.
Fusing an eclectic mixture of electronic tones to a smooth vocal performance, Bryanna Rain draws us into a neon adventure and journey down the rainbow bridge of ‘Arcades, Aeroplanes’. The melody is a masterpiece of experimentation as it picks up electronic tones that shouldn’t work together and merges them into a captivating flow. Rain’s vocals as a smooth glide over the neon lights of the music take us on a wonderful sonic adventure.
