New Music: Reggie Becton – “Rainin In LA”
Hailing from PG County, Maryland, now residing in Los Angeles, R&B artist, Reggie Becton, shares his new single, “Rainin In LA.” With chill, acoustic-driven production courtesy of Marco “essentials” Tornillo and Aidan “maestro” Carroll, Reggie delivers a mesmerizing ballad, as he reflects on experiencing love at first sight.
Here’s what Reggie had to say about the single:
It’s inspired by one of the most classic and famous lyrics in the world of R&B: “it never rains in Southern California” written by one of my favorite 90’s R&B songwriters, Raphael Saadiq. Most people, including myself, move to LA for the 24/7 sunshine but after living here for three years, I realized it does actually rain in southern California and quite a lot.
On the night Rainin in LA was written, I was about to wrap up a studio session around 4 am and I just remember looking out of the window seeing it was still pouring down rain and I started thinking about this amazing girl I met at an art show the night before. I thought I was experiencing love at first sight for the first time, but once I realized she lived two hours away I knew LA traffic would turn that into a three hour commute and what could’ve been, quickly lost its magic.
Nonetheless, Reggie was able to encapsulate his relatable experience with the one that got away, and gift it to listeners for their audible pleasure. In celebration of his 25th journey around the sun, “Rainin In LA” and a handful of other songs will appear on Reggie Becton’s forthcoming EP.
