No not the EPIC ballard by Jordin Sparks (see here), this is a brand new track from Tinchey's album Third Strike, featuring the completely overlooked Melanie Fiona.
(Melanie Fiona who for anyone that's unfamiliar with her, is a Canadian artist, she's friends with Kanye & Jay-Z and has written songs for Rihanna. She released her debut album The Bridge in 2009, which sold reasonably well in the U.S. but not so great over here, and her track It Kills Me topped the Billboard Hot 100 R&B/HipHop chart for 10 weeks. Her track Give It To Me Right, is also v-e-r-y good.)
Like most songs with "rain" in the title, it's epic, emotional, dramatic and ballad-eqsue. There are emotional wet people, slow motion dance moves and "I'm gonna be alright" survivor lyrics. Yes, this is deffinately a song about rain.
Heartfelt and emotional, its nice to see Tinchey - who's one of the most talented and successful UK urban acts around - release something different to his usual HipHop-Pop and shows that he's more than a one trick pony, who I'm sure will be around for a few years to come.
