L’Rain Turns Alienation Into a Mirage on the Extraordinary ‘fata morgana’

L’Rain turns self-doubt, alienation, political unease, and the search for belonging into a shape-shifting sonic mirage on ‘fata morgana’. Taja Cheek’s fourth album moves effortlessly between R&B, gospel, dancehall, tape collage, noise, and crushed-metal intensity, resulting in one of her most fearless and emotionally resonant works yet.
