Under the mononym L’Rain, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Taja Cheek performs music rooted in R&B, jazz, noise, and pop. Her sophomore album, Fatigue, blends hauntingly delicate vocals with an array of keyboard and synth, and incorporates manipulated samples and voice memos in the production. The record “is an exploration of the simultaneity of human emotions … the audacity of joy in the wake of grief, disappointment in the face of accomplishment,” says L’Rain.
