#5 L’Rain
Here is how Angel Fraden from Teen Vogue describes L’Rain: “ It is a beautiful mess of confounding songs, sound collages spliced together as a tapestry of grief, loss, and the brilliant moments of joy in between. Songwriter and frontwoman Taja Cheek references R&B as frequently as she touches on post-punk and avant-garde rock, incorporating each seamlessly enough to inspire an ambitious new hybrid genre. But rather than creating new ways to categorize its sound, L’Rain rejects labels and revels in the freedom this unconventional music provides.”
Truly a beautiful mess, L’Rain creates incredible diverse music mixing genres and even centuries of music one could never imagine mixed.
