WOW! What an amazing cover of Chris Isaak… Raign - aka Rachel Rabin - will be familiar to fans of the U.K. version of X Factor. Raign was clearly picked by producers this year as the slightly mad annoying one who really got up non-entity “judge” Cheryl Cole’s nose. Yep, there was something vaguely irritating about Raign but you couldn’t help thinking during the audition phases that she was using the show to her own advantage and putting it all on a bit. Clearly it worked because Cole *really* hated Raign and was really quite obnoxious and mean about it. Raign was booted out by Simon Cowell during the 6 Seat Challenge and it’s since emerged that she has already released some tracks and is really quite the accomplished performer. So boo, hiss to Cheryl for not knowing talent when she sees it - unless it’s all an elaborate marketing plan that X Factor was in on. Even if that is the case, I’m happy that Raign was given the platform because she’s certainly not just more crash-and-burn X Factor fodder. Her only official solo release so far is Don’t Let Me Go, a massive, cinematic electro pop number with vocals that can only be described as soaring. Follow up track is a cover of Wicked Game which takes a classic ballad and turns it into - another massive, cinematic electro pop number with soaring vocals. If you like your electro pop slightly over the top and just a bit camp, Raign is right up your street. This will be massive. -via this weeks New Music Mirror @ Towleroad
