Raynes Unveil Debut Single ‘Lemon Drop’
The three guys perfectly blend elements of modern pop with classically Americana instrumentation to make their own sound. Lemon Drop is packed with lush, emotive vocals which soar over a mix of subtle piano keys, violin riffs, pounding drums and intricate acoustic guitars and mandolins melodies. I am really loving the anthemic, feel-good chorus that instantly put a smile on my face. If you're into energetic pieces of Americana-tinged pop music with an anthemic atmosphere, then you'll love Lemon Drop. Check it out below!
Produced by Mighty Mike (Lana Del Rey, The Neighbourhood, Dua Lipa) and mastered by Joe LaPorta (David Bowie, Vampire Weekend, Shawn Mendes), Lemon Drop talks about the bittersweet effects of chasing fame in Los Angeles. Speaking about the song Raynes said,
It’s been a fun challenge incorporating all of Mike’s pop expertise into our sound. We’ve had a blast figuring out how to make a violin sound like a synth and a snare sound like a hand clap, as well as blending it all together so it walks the line between folk and pop in the most appealing way. It’s pretty fatalistic, but very tongue in cheek, as none of us are really planning on getting hooked on drugs or the adoration of fans or any of the other pitfalls that our parents and Hollywood itself warned us about.
