EDEN RAIN CLOSER

‘Closer’ is the new single from London-based artist Eden Rain. It’s a melancholic, heartfelt track that lets her voice do the heavy lifting. She sings with tender sentimentality about love and loss, over a slow-moving accompaniment defined by string sounds and distant reverb. “I wrote this song about my experience of loving someone who is going through grief. It’s about the feeling of someone being so close to you but unreachable at the same time, the pain of not knowing how to be around them or knowing that you’re powerless in helping them.” You can check out Eden Rain’s acclaimed EP, But I’m Alright Now, now. -Dan Peeke
