In this episode of Doing Music, L'Rain talks to Craig Schuftan and co-host Christa Belle about the many places she draws from to make her unique brand of electronic soul. It's a candid exploration of the worries an artist must overcome to capture their ideas, as well as the headspaces and physical places that lend themselves to getting those elusive first sparks down. As a music maker looking to the art world for different approaches, she celebrates a collage-like approach which lends itself to the longer run time of an album. Reaching for sound from unlikely places and recognising where to listen and when to push ahead, L'Rain reveals the path to her sound is full of clear-eyed intention.
