L'Rain's "birthday" is not a straightforward celebration. She moves from loneliness to a plea for self-love amidst a sultry ambiance. With lush mellow keys and a patient minimalistic rhythm, “birthday” has an allure reminiscent of classic r&b slow jams. L'Rain's soulful tone meets the moment perfectly, and a swell of stunning choir-esque vocals creates a gorgeous finish. It's new ground for L'Rain, and is also one of her best songs.
