Petrichor is the second album from Bryanna Rain. It’s a dark pop-driven album that blends experimental, leftfield and synth-pop elements within an ethereal backdrop that sounds pure and honest from start to finish.
Have you heard Bryanna Rain‘s Petrichor album? There is no doubt that it is a work of art. An 80’s-inspired dark pop album that will get you dancing in no time. The following article and interview will provide you with a better understanding of her. Introducing a prominent member of the female EDM producer community.
The vibe of her new album is almost disco at times, but with a modern twist. I love how it sounds — and trust me as someone who listens to music daily — it’s well worth checking out if you appreciate different-sounding EDM music.
With a sweet aspect and dreamy voice, Bryanna Rain’s new album, Petrichor, was released this week. In the follow-up to her previous release of Arcade, Aeroplanes in March this year, Bryanna created Petrichor with a specific intention behind it.
Her album morphed into this deep pop drenched in experimental sounds and effects that is a pleasure to listen to, but especially to enjoy the vibe and dance as well. We noticed that it’s not only pop commercial music as everybody is doing.
The Petrichor album project has something else as a whole and Bryanna’s high level of creativity as a singer and producer is very evident here. You can listen to our full playlist which contains the artist’s music, and know more about the artist by scrolling down the page.
After taking a hiatus from releasing albums, Bryanna Rain has released Petrichor which is a follow-up and companion to her debut release EPisodes from March 2022.
It contains remixes, bonus tracks, and the lead single Arcades, Aeroplanes (#3 iTunes Netherlands) with a video that aired on MTV and VICE.
According to the producer and singer, this time, she decided to do what she’s really good at, which is innovation.
Originally from Richmond, VA, Bryanna Rain is a singer-songwriter and author. She released her first solo EP at the age of 13. Besides that, she has also published a picture book with the New York City-based Tik A Tok publishing company.
She is a graduate of Virginia Tech and is highly passionate about animals, as well as role-playing video games, and the latter has become a significant inspiration for her debut album, entitled “EPisodes”. June 2021 marked the release of her debut single on the Exquisite Noise Label, “Blaming Eternia”, which is available on Spotify as well.
Exploring a little more about Petrichor, some producers from PopHits.Co made very positive comments:
“We loved Blaming Eternia, but this album Petrichor is innovative, it is an experimental work that combines leftfield synth pop with dark pop and funk at its best. The project offered us about 36-minute journey through the mind of an artist that’s not afraid to experiment with the genres she loves, and this is impressive in a world where everyone is producing overly similar sounds “.

You will find a bit of everything, from video game-inspired tracks to other styles. Some songs on the album have also a spoken word style in them, others start out with a beat that sounds like it’s from an old Gameboy game before moving into some 80s vibes as Bryanna sings about washing away her troubles.
The second track is a lot more electronic pop than the first track but still has some funk influences in it. It also features some really cool EDM effects that give this album its own unique sound.
Overall the album is great and for sure will be included in our playlists, you should do the same. Each track has its own unique atmosphere and feels like a perfect fit for working out, just relaxing, for rainy days or long drives on a lonely highway.
