Eden Rain, Leeds-born and now London-based pop-alt rising artist, is back with a newly released track titled ‘Pet Names’, celebrating the importance of trusting love and allowing it to be our guiding light despite getting tangled up in the twisted web of insecurities.

The track, written and produced by Josef Page, has a dreamlike feeling thanks to the immersive upbeat guitar and hazy-like synth, never stranding from our side through the entire listen. It is a song with an underlying sweetness behind it, of butterflies and rosy cheeks, thinking about the love that surrounds us and finally giving in to simply letting our walls crumble and diving into the arms of our loved ones.

The track, released on October 5th, is coming off Eden Rain’s upcoming second ep, ‘but i’m alright now’ and is another solidified proof of an artistic identity taking up form between creativity and poetry into the perfect alternative pop sound, perfect for a generation that uses music as a vessel for all the emotions that sometimes are too big to muster up into words alone.

The lyrics reflect the song’s meaning, filled with tenderness and unwavering affection. Eden Rain explains that the song feels like a thank-you note to the people who never stopped taking care of or gave up on her by consistently showing up even when she believed she was unworthy of ever receiving that amount of love and attention.

Eden previously talked about the meaning behind the title stating:

“I called it Pet Names because sometimes I can be a little disorganised, chaotic mess, and the people that love me take to feeding me, cleaning up after me, taking me on walks…. I’m like a little pocket pet.”

Her voice perfectly captures this soft and moving feeling, bringing to the piece an ethereal and delicate character that captivates you into listening to it over and over again, without ever getting tired of it. We cannot wait to see what more Eden Rain has in store for her musical journey.

A journey that, right now, compares to a fresh and colourful canvas of emotions waiting to be seen by everyone.

In the meantime, you can check Eden live at The Lower Third in London on November 4, 2023, and at Leeds Oporto on November 23, 2023.
