Laura Rain & The Caesars were formed by Detroit couple
Laura Rain and husband George Friend in 2012 and debuted with an album 'Electrified' in 2013, followed up by 'Closer' in 2014, 'Gold' in 2015 and 'Walk With Me' in 2018.
They really broke through in 2021 starting with the release of "Closer To the Win" in January. They subsequently signed a record deal in the UK with LRK
Records and released "I Am" in May. Rain also featured on Al Lindsey's "Claim It" which got a vinyl release on MD Records.
Also this year they won three Detroit Music Awards and finished their fifth
full length album "Rise Again" which is set for release on a limited edition vinyl LP. "Rise
Again" is a treasure chest of stone cold Motor City soul gems written by
Laura and George which exemplify their modern vintage sound and is due in
early 2022.
The title track is being released as a single and is a result of a collaboration with Seattle based beat
maker and producer UNKWN which merges the roots of Detroit soul with
contemporary sample based production. The haunting piano refrain meets the
gospel tinged voices and Hammond organ effortlessly, giving Rain the space
to deliver her inspirational message of hope, equality, healing and triumph.
I think this could be the best single to date!
Digital release is scheduled 22 Oct 2021 followed by pre-orders for
the 7" vinyl and album in November from LRK's BandCamp store.
UPDATE: 19 Oct 2021: Don't believe everything you read as SoulTracks has posted this today 19 Oct 2021 'claiming' it to be a 'world premiere'! Of course SoulStrutter blog readers know better!
