What is it about rain that makes our soul feel melancholic and magical at the same time?
For Kapuso singer-actress Lexi Gonzales, it’s the feeling of being able to go back to your happiest and saddest memories whenever the rain pours from the sky. These emotions are what listeners will feel whenever they hear her first single, “Something in the Rain,” released today, November 12.
“The song is about first love, how magical it is and how we would sometimes long to go back to that giddy feeling. It’s a feel-good song that will make you feel nostalgic. Whenever it’s raining, there will always be a feeling and a memory that we will go back to. That’s the song for me–traveling back to your memories while being cozy with a cup of coffee in your hand,” she shares.
Lexi’s impressive talent in acting, singing, and dancing were first noticed when she joined Starstruck Season 7 where she emerged as its First Princess. From then on, she became part of various Kapuso projects including GMA Public Affairs’ weekly romance anthology ‘My Fantastic Pag-ibig: Paano Kung Ma-inlove si Cupid?’ with Kim de Leon, as one of the hosts of the comedy-gag-variety program ‘FLEX,’ and currently, as one of the mainstays of the hit weekend musical variety show ‘All-Out Sundays.’
‘Something in the Rain’ is Lexi’s first single under GMA Music’s newest sub-label ‘GMA Playlist.’ She personally dedicates this song to her grandmother who recently passed away.
“I have a lot of great memories with my lola. When she was still alive, we used to bond a lot, especially when it’s raining and we would make champorado, eat lugaw, and make coffee together. I’m sure she’ll be proud of me if she was here. She’s always proud of me and the things I do. She always encouraged me to sing and hone my voice. I really wanted her to be the first person to hear this song because I learned to sing because of her,” says Lexi.
Written by Rina Mercado, ‘Something in the Rain’ is now available on Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, and other digital stores worldwide.
