Raveena released a deluxe edition of her album “Where the Butterflies Go in the Rain” on February 28. This edition contains two additional singles and a remixed version of “Lose My Focus.”

The album captures the intense emotional experiences that humans face, both in life and with the planet. Raveena blends imagery and lyrical texture to evoke a sense of aliveness in the themes of her songs. She combines elements of soul, R&B, and jazz to create a tender, emotional atmosphere.

The first song on the album, “Pluto,” sets a steady R&B rhythm with its percussion. The song connects deeply with the title of the album, as Raveena sings, “Trying not to cry, it’s been a few years since we had to say goodbye / But you reappear as a butterfly,” using the butterfly as a symbol for someone who has passed. She continues to describe a memory of “watching smoke turn into clouds from the backseat.”

The next track, “Lucky,” discusses love’s healing power. Raveena expresses this through the lyrics, “Let me be your escape from the world / My feminine love can heal all hurt.” The song ends with a poignant question, “Do you know you’re lucky?” emphasizing how special it is to experience this kind of love with someone.

“Every Color” carries an earthy vibe, with Raveena repeating, “Give me sound of lovers / Give me end of winter / Just add water.” This repetition creates a warm, homey feeling that matches the song’s imagery.

“Baby Mama” shifts into a more percussive rhythm, featuring pulling sounds. In this song, Raveena sings about the creation of life through the symbol of making a baby. She invites this new life to “come down” to her.

“Junebug (feat. JPEGMAFIA)” introduces a happy, animated side of life. Raveena sings about a carefree moment in a tiny town, letting her hair get curly from the beach’s tide, drawing a connection between humanness, freedom, and nature.

“Lose My Focus” expresses the disorienting effects of love. Raveena sings, “You got me screaming in a pillow just because / You got me staring at the moon,” with the moon symbolizing longing and desire.

In her duet with Arima, “We Should Move Somewhere Beautiful,” the pair sings about carrying lost loved ones with them in some form, hoping to shield them from the rain. The soft instrumentation gives the lyrics a raw power, making their message even more poignant.

“Kid” and “16 Candles (feat. Ganavya)” reflect on Raveena’s adolescence. In the latter, she reminisces about not wanting to forget her 16th birthday.

“Smile for Me” addresses the complexities of love, including the tension that arises from arguments and the desire to reconcile. Raveena sings, “We fight, we mend, and we do it again / Stop crying waterfalls,” reinforcing the idea of repeatedly choosing love despite difficulties.

“Afternoon Tea” blends Hindi and English, with Raveena and her grandmother expressing gratitude together. This adds a familial bond to the album, strengthening its emotional depth.

“Little Bird” explores themes of healing, as Raveena sings, “Changing out the bruises for people you love” and reflects on life’s challenges with, “Sometimes it’s Heaven, sometimes it’s Hell.”

Raveena brings back the earthy vibe in “Water,” singing that it makes her “feel weightless” and “a little softer.” She also transitions into Hindi, connecting this sense of tranquility to her heritage.

In the first deluxe single, “Sun Don’t Leave Me,” Raveena alludes to humanity’s environmental destruction. She sings, “I know that they’re killing the sky,” while pleading for the sun to stay.

The second deluxe track, “You’re So Good to Me,” opens with the sounds of the sitar, reinforcing her cultural roots. The song focuses on love, with Raveena singing, “Who knew there would be love songs just for me?” highlighting how these songs are gifts to her and the ways love is expressed.

Raveena is expected to release a vinyl version of the deluxe album on May 30. Fans can preorder the glittery vinyl through Raveena’s official shopping website.
