Some people in the entertainment world talk a lot of stuff but when it comes down to acting it out, it’s a different story. Recently we met a unique T&T artiste- a woman whose actions always back up the lyrics that come out of her mouth. She told us despite having faced a tremendous about of trials and tribulations since returning to T&T to live, having spent 26 years of her life overseas, she’s kept the love in her heart and kept showing that love to everyone she meets.
Liz Steinberg is better known by her peers in the music world as Raign- a homonym (rain and reign). Pretty unique indeed. She’s got a brand new single and just as we suspected, it’s all about the need to spread more love. The single, “The World Needs More Love” was written by the lady herself, however production was done by New Jersey engineer, Taj Waltons who worked with the Fugees, engineering some of their greatest hits. Raign told EBUZZ that this particular song was all about expression, explaining that it’s aimed at stirring up thoughts and provoking action- action to love more. The South, Trinidad native also told us that she’s working on an album and this single, believe it or not, is just a promotional tool to take her to the next step in her career. “Once we’re finished with the album, we’ve got a distribution deal with Virgin Records,” she said, noting that this isn’t the first time her music has been picked up by a distribution company or label. “I did a remake to Whitney Houston’s ‘I Will Always Love You,’ and it was a hit some years ago. It would play all the time on the radio stations in the US and it was on the college charts as well,” she said. Beyond that, she recorded two other singles, which she noted were picked up and distributed overseas as well.
The album will be called Fire and Ice- a jazz-pop album with a compilation of music that’s truly significant to her. Arduously working on the project with local entertainer Gounzsman, Raign assures that the finished product will be amazing. “We women have the power. There’s a feminine energy in the world right now. The feminine energy is the energy of love, the energy of comfort. As women, we need to bring back that comfort and love in the minds and hearts of our children,” she said with an air of confidence. Raign, the woman who has taken two homonyms and applied them, renaming herself suitably, she feels, with a name that defines her, is on a mission to spread love through music and positive vibrations. “Rain offers a sense of renewal and we are all gonna do that,” she said assuredly.
