“Brutal is a really unique song for me because up until this point, pretty much all of the songs I’ve released have been based on my own experiences,” says indie singer-songwriter Rainey Qualley, better known as Rainsford, when asked about her last release. The track is a collaboration with Charlotte Lawrence and features Norwegian singer-songwriter Anna of the North. The single takes us to a spiritual world with which the artist, who took a break in 2021 to focus on acting, comes back to music stronger than ever, betting on collaborations.
Having been premiered by Zane Lowe via Apple Radio just a few days ago, Brutal marks a fresh start for Rainsford, creator of singles with hundreds of thousands of streams on all platforms like Oh my god or Love me like you hate me. The singer-songwriter, actress, model, writer and creative director illustrates the pain of love in limbo and is capable of creating an enveloping atmosphere through hypnotising melodies that transcend the earthly world, in an ecosystem with a life of its own that leaves no one indifferent.
“Brutal is better than confused,” Rainsford sings on her new single, which features a collaboration with Anna of the North. “I liked the format of the female, female duet we had established and had been a fan of Anna’s for so long, so naturally she was perfect for this track,” she adds. Championing honesty and authenticity and having emerged as a multidisciplinary artist who loves experimentation, the singer is committed to synergies with other creatives, achieving a very effective result. Her powerhouse voice has infinite nuances, so we all should listen to Brutal several times to perceive everything that this song hides.
