As a youngster, she first soaked up the dance music she heard in her native Miami, Florida and was eventually drawn to pop-oriented contemporary R&B like Mariah Carey and Destiny’s Child. It’s a soothing balm for whatever ails you, and the album certainly contains plenty of ammunition for a playlist like “Chilled Hits.” But when Claudio wonders, “did we lose our minds?” it’s unnerving: The unerring evenness of the music means you can’t tell. Sabrina Claudio is an R&B-rooted singer and songwriter who favors ballads that are low-key and aching in nature. There are dashes of almost pushy cocktail funk and hissing hip-hop soul, and even a touch of vindictiveness on “Creation:” “His fingers never used to move that way,” Claudio sings, “so you’re welcome for the pleasure.” Still, the primary sensation imparted by No Rain, No Flowers is one of gentle drift. No Rain, No Flowers is obsessed with melody - Claudio is a master of ruffling and extending notes, dawdling in many shades of breathy, high-register singing - but frequently indifferent to rhythm. This album is consistently suave, admirably steady.īut it’s also a little tepid. A Message From the r/PopHeads Moderators on Anti-Asian American Hatred and Violence.
