Learningtodive – Rainbow Fall (2021)

Learningtodive is calling out to humanity with his latest single ‘Rainbow Fall’. Through the 80s-inspired post-punk track, he calls for reconciliation and to not let dark forces pit us against each other. He also encourages us to look for humanity in each other and asks for each of us to be humble. With anthemic tones, the track will have you considering extending the olive branch.

The man behind this call is Bravo Bonez, a producer, arranger and musician. Playing a range of instruments, he blends post-punk with dream-pop and ambient sounds to get the message of his music across. Bursting from the shackles of genres, he started the project three years ago and has recorded an EP at the end of a fjord in Norway. This single comes from that EP and is a great introduction to his sound.



‘Rainbow Fall’ draws you into the soundscape with a blended mixture of ambient sounds, shuffling beats and floating guitars. The melody hits with a softness that wraps around you while the lower levels have a forward propulsion. It is a wonderfully mixed melody that combines different elements to get your senses flying. As you are eclipsed by the music, you are also placed in an almost intimate corner where the lyrics sink into your brain. The slight haziness resting in between the notes of the melody brings a bit of the 80s to the more modern tones.

While the melody is a world on its own, the vocals slide through to grab you. The deep tones of his voice resonate through the soundscape to get your attention and really make you listen to the lyrics. His delivery turns to anthemic on the chorus as his voice calls out into the world. The vocal layers that come later are matched by a marching of the melody that makes you think of taking to the streets. However, this is countered by the lyrics that offer you a softer side to the music.

Learningtodive is calling out to all of us through the encapsulating melody and deep vocals of ‘Rainbow Fall’. The blended music brings a number of elements together for a deep musical mixture that his vocals slide through. The depth of his voice and his emotive delivery have the lyrics sinking into your brain.
