Raihanna Estrada is a fairly new artist to me. However, I have to say, I am incredibly impressed with the whole package that she delivers.
Raihanna has a gift for stringing words together in a sublimely lyrical way and, with her very country singing voice, this results in super catchy and immensely enjoyable songs.
Her latest song “June” 100% fits into this category.
With a very catchy melody, clever lyrics which tell a story you can relate to, and a happy bouncy sound relaying the joys of the summer this is a tune for all seasons.
I feel this song would brighten up any dreary day and make any summer day a real party.
The video that Raihanna has produced to go with “June” again, really portrays the feeling of happy summer days, summer picnics and sitting in the country or by a lake.
For me, if a song can induce an emotional reaction, then its a winner, Raihanna has achieved this with “June”.
I have played this tune on the radio show and will definitely be playing it again, especially when the winter months come around again and we need a gentle reminder that summer is just around the corner.
Favourites
- Line: If I could bottle you up and tuck you away, save you for a rainy day, the feeling that old and new.
- Part of the song: The chorus, which really has power and just makes you smile.
- Video: The accompanying video has a fantastic retro feel and, in parts reminds me of the Bangles back in the early days.
