Jiří Rain (CITRON, SEBASTIEN, ROCKOPERA) Releases Second Single from Upcoming Acoustic Solo Album

Jiří Rain, known to fans from bands CITRON, SEBASTIEN and performances with ROCKOPERA PRAHA, is embarking on a new chapter in his musical career. With his second single, Tvář, he is paving the way for his debut solo album, Acoustica I, which promises to surprise listeners with its predominantly acoustic approach.

Pre-order the album at Sparkshop.

The release of a solo album is no mere whim, but rather the result of many years of accumulated ideas: "The song 'Tvář' is a ballad I've had in my head for several years. It eventually became part of the ERAZIM project, which explores human weaknesses and the so-called seven deadly sins, as defined by Pope Gregory the Great, against the backdrop of a local legend about the last Pauline monk from the Kuklov Monastery. I really love my own acoustic version of this song. I like its fragility and the lyrics, in which I touch on the struggle with one's own memories and the weight of long-past feelings and dreams: '...a wanderer in love, equal to a king...' Love is the most powerful force, before which we all stand naked," Jiří Rain explains the origins of the song.

On Acoustica I, Jiří Rain will present himself in a style that differs significantly from the live performances of legendary band CITRON. Instead of heavy riffs, the focus shifts to more intimate moods, romance and personal expression. As the first two singles suggest, the album will explore human relationships and social issues. Through his songs, the artist raises questions and tells stories that also touch on the relationship between God and humanity, often in a deeply urgent tone.
