Gretchen Parlato has always known how to make space feel intentional, and 'Rainbow' is no different. Her voice carries a warmth that moves through the track with the ease of someone who has earned the stillness. Robert Glasper lending his magic on keys is immediately felt, his touch unmistakable, that signature blessing adding a soulful jazz depth that gives the whole thing room to breathe with bright chords that match the sentiment of the song. The message is simple and sincere: the rain will pass, the clouds will clear, your rainbow will come. Rooted in jazz and threaded with neo-soul, it feels like light after a long spell of grey - hopeful and quietly radiant.
