Keryn emerges with a debut single "Shadows in the Rain" [Review]

"Shadows in the Rain" is Keryn's first release, a virtual artist created with AI-supported vocals and a track written by Peter "Pitchman" Wagner. It's a project audacious enough to blend the emotional intent of human songwriting with the future-fetishism of artificial intelligence, and it's wonderfully singular stuff. "Shadows in the Rain" is rooted in a dreamy sound world that straddles pop rock, indie pop, and synthpop, embracing chillout and lo-fi textures.

The production has a cinematic quality, conjuring neon glints off wet city streets. There's a moody pulse to the track, one that brings you into a world of introspection, late-night wandering, and quiet self-discovery. The chords and lyrics are Wagner's emotional backbone, and Keryn's AI-assisted voice delivers them with haunting precision. It doesn't feel robotic or detached so much as eerily human, like a far-off player-piano version of someone you once knew. It's evidence that technology, when combined with artistry, can open new pathways of expression rather than replace them.

Skimming ambient swells, soft beats, and the sort of insouciant dream pop vagary that was hard not to enjoy. It's smoother and slower than its raucous predecessors, sinking into the senses rather than simply adding a mood-setter to playlists labeled Rainy Day Vibes, Chill Out Sessions, and Late Night Mood. For fans of music that envelops you, that is cinematic and quietly profound, this debut is essential listening. With "Shadows in the Rain," Keryn marks the debut of a new type of artist, one that resides at the intersection of human creativity and AI innovation. So it's a bold opening move into a constantly changing musical landscape in which imagination and technology are constant companions. Keryn's journey begins in the rain, but based on this debut, the road is bright.
