Ian Rae just released his latest single, ‘Rio In The Rain’, a beautifully arranged piece with gentle harmonies. The melody makes you feel like you are sitting in spring sunlight, listening to the birds chirp, and life is good.

Ian Rae, a 78-year-old musician and an independent artist, has steadily built his reputation and gained the love of people with his music. His music invites you to slow down with its immersive and cinematic soundscape. You feel like you are the main character of a movie who is taking their time to unwind on a day off.

‘Rio In The Rain’ creates its atmosphere slowly, taking its time to add texture and emotion. The progression of the track is very organic and gives off a sense of warmth to the listener. It feels like a warm welcome and has a poetic essence to it, which doesn’t feel too heavy or overbearing. The listener is allowed to bring energy and mood into the song—to some it might feel like nostalgia for their grandmother’s home, and to some it might feel almost melancholic, like looking back at good memories, knowing the times are gone. 

Ian Rae also has simple sheet music versions of some of his compositions, which are available to all on his website, www.IanRae.co.uk.

You can listen to ‘Rio In The Rain’ by Ian Rae on popular platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.
