Pretend 367 Posted August 6, 2016 Rainbow Chan is a Sydney-based artist who self-writes and produces her own brand of innovative pop, infusing her Hong Kong background with left-of-centre beats and elements of Japanese electronic music and R&B. To date, she has released a number of standalone singles and 2013's Long Vacation EP, and is now preparing to release her debut album Spacings on 26th August. Three singles have been released so far from the project: Nest, Last and Work. If you're a fan of the likes of Grimes, Jessy Lanza and Shura you'll probably like Rainbow as well (she's closer to the former two sonically but is fairly accessible too). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pretend 367 Posted August 6, 2016 never heard of her before and now i'm wondering how i haven't! she strikes me as a more...listenable grimes? no hate for grimes but sometimes her music is too much at once. rainbow's aesthetic is wonderful the more i listen to her the more i love her voice I only heard of her through someone saying her vocals sounded like Annie's on Last (as in this Annie, not the musical) but I'm surprised too at how she's flown under the radar when her music is much easier to get into than Grimes'. Hopefully the album will get a few reviews once it comes out but I'm not getting my hopes up; it seems like most of the good Australian artists are being ignored tbh 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Solar Fields 4,163 Posted December 1, 2016 What happened to her Instagram account? Did she delete all her posts? Edit: Did she block me lmao? Edit: She literally blocked me.... 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Solar Fields 4,163 Posted November 13, 2017 I’m still not sure why she blocked me But she released two new singles, ‘Let Me’ and ‘The Creator’, for a new EP called Fabrica 15. Let Me is kinda boring to me, but The Creator really impressed me! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
