Raveena releases her new album Where the Butterflies Go in the Rain via Empire. The album includes previously released singles “Junebug” feat. JPEGMAFIA, ”Lucky” and “Pluto,” as well as the dreamy new track “Lose My Focus” that captures the sweet feeling of falling in love and showcases Raveena’s warm stunning vocals. Where the Butterflies Go in the Rain delves into themes of new love, maturity and comfort that reflect the peace of mind Raveena currently inhabits.
 
Speaking about the album Raveena shares, “This album healed me in our two years together and changed my relationship to music and to the material world. Never have I felt so sure that our bodies are just instruments for the divine to channel into and create magic with. I set out in making this album with the intention to create a body of work that sounded like sunlight and pure love, and by being surrounded by those sounds every day for years, I was taught the true nature of my body and its purpose. What a beautiful thing music is.”
 
Embracing the sounds of classic artists like Fleetwood Mac, Brandy, Bob Marley, Joni Mitchell, and Marvin Gaye, to name a few, Where the Butterflies Go in the Rain draws inspiration from people who as Raveena describes, “are really good at capturing the beauty and loss of life in the same breath.” In her signature style, Raveena seamlessly unites that expansive songwriting with traditional Indian instruments and feel-good early 2000s pop hits —putting forth a work that’s more unabashedly herself than any that’s come before.
 
In the two years since releasing Asha’s Awakening, Raveena has toured nationally and internationally, become the first woman of Indian heritage to perform solo at Coachella, and recently completed her Saturn Return—welcoming a season of growth, transformation, and calm that’s central to her newest full-length offering. Raveena reflects on her forthcoming album, “I don't think I've ever understood a record so well before—It wasn’t like the process I used to have with past albums where I was more anxious about being at my best. This time, it was all intuition, and I knew the album was right when I finally had the feeling of rest.”
