Raven Rain is more than one artist, she has lots of faces, identities, and tastes, a beautiful mix of everything. She was born in Italy, currently based in London yet has always been fascinated by Far East Asian cultures, especially the Japanese and Korean. She developed a varied taste in music due to her upbringing and her family’s love for music, she attended music school where she learned guitar and piano with a focus on vocal and singing classes, leading her to audition for the X-Factor in 2019. Her background affected her taste in music and that made her listen to Italian pop, pop-rock, classic rock, and others. All this is reflected in her music where she experiments with different sounds like rap, dance, pop, and electronic sound effects. Yet, her current main influences are Halsey, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and a few K-pop groups. The one thing the artist didn’t mix and match with was the context of the lyrics in her songs, where she discusses mental health issues, the struggles faced, how it affects relationships and friendships, insecurities, and many others. With “LDN – TKYO” she decided to loosen up and just have fun, enjoy life, and tell everyone to just let go. With her new single, she is showing a side of herself that never came out before and reflecting that she isn’t afraid of exploring different sounds and ideas. The song is highly inspired by the K-pop genre with some pop elements. It was produced, mixed, and mastered by ASHEA who previously worked with Alan Walker, who is also working on Raven’s upcoming song which is due to be released in July this year.
