RAIN PERRY
Internal Combustion
Rain Perry is sassy and sensual on Internal Combustion, offering no qualms about exploring her sexuality in song. On opening track “The Compartmentalized Thing,” she touts the fact that she knows what she wants and isn’t shy about demanding it. “Keanuville” and “Next Best Thing” find her idolizing members of the opposite sex, and her take on the bedroom anthem to beat them all, Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On,” is stunning. Ultimately, the lovely piano ballad “A Perfect Storm” and her graceful remake of Paul Simon’s “Rene and Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After the War” spotlight the singer at her best, exuding sheer emotion. If Perry’s previous albums hinted at her star potential, Internal Combustion shouts it out loud.
