Single Review: Petals In The Rain

Arrowtown-born, Wellington-based Indie Dream-Pop Fantasizer Sofia Machray recently released her new single Petals In The Rain. Staking her claim in New Zealand’s alternative indie scene alongside her 3-piece support band (topping alternative charts in 2020), Machray’s strong vocals and lofty melodies provides the listener with a Florence And The Machine vibe.

This is her first track off her highly anticipated debut 6-track EP, Language Of Flowers, which is due for release in July 2023.

Described as a “captivating dreamy track”, Petals In The Rain combine intimate lyrics with an ethereal sound, showcasing her raw wistful vocals. Machray has a strong voice with a melodic sound.

There is a dreamy quality with this track which radiates through this song, alongside a powerful delivery and tight instrumentation.

Written by Sofia Machray and co-produced with engineer Robbie Pattinson, Petals In The Rain is a song about reminiscing on memories with a beautiful tranquil feel.
