Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Jessie Reyez and alt-rocker grandson have teamed up for new collab “Rain” set to be featured in the highly-anticipated film, THE SUICIDE SQUAD, in theaters August 6th.
grandson and Reyez both have individual songs in the upcoming superhero action adventure film and took the opportunity to team up for a commanding collaboration with “Rain.” Next month, an official companion visual for the track will be released featuring grandson and Reyez each embracing their inner Super-Villain.
“Rain” is about how the shadows in life accentuate the sunshine; how even though tough times are ahead, you know hope is just around the corner… “I do not mind / The rain sometimes / Oh That’s the only way the roses / Bloom.” As two artists that inspire and evoke change, the song flaunts their combined palpable sincerity and sense of emotional transparency. Reyez‘s silky vocals provide an added layer of texture, as grandson and the pop star alternate verses and come together for an epic, belting chorus.
grandson, said:
‘Rain’ is the theme song for making sense of personal tragedy.
Through this track, I hope others find reassurance that whatever difficulty they’re going through leads to a broader, fuller perspective on life’s beauty somewhere down the road.
Reyez, said:
I respect grandson as an artist so of course I was really excited to work with him; when he called me up to bat to feature on “Rain”, it was a no-brainer.
I’m also a fan of James Gunn and his work, so to be able to contribute a small part of my creativity to the world of Suicide Squad is an honor.
