Acclaimed Norwegian indie folk-pop duo Oakland Rain today release their anticipated single, ‘Sister Hymn,’ on International Women’s Day. A celebration of sisterhood and a tribute to the women who have paved the way for future generations, ‘Sister Hymn’ promises to captivate audiences with its infectious beat, rhythmic vocals, and goosebump-inducing harmony refrains. The track embodies a self-explanatory paean with gospel vibes, resonating deeply with themes of empowerment and unity. It serves as an invitation for individuals from all walks of life to join the ongoing fight for equality while celebrating the strength found in sisterhood worldwide.
‘Sister Hymn’ marks a new chapter for Oakland Rain, drawing inspiration from an elegant, Americana earthiness that pays homage to the duo’s maternal grandfather, a devoted fan of American country and folk music. Maren and Charlotte Wallevik, the talented twin sisters behind Oakland Rain, infuse the song with their signature Simon & Garfunkel-like interlace of harmony vocals, showcasing their musical prowess and unique bond.
With ‘Sister Hymn,’ Oakland Rain invites listeners to join them on a journey of empowerment, unity, and celebration. As the world commemorates International Women’s Day, the duo’s message resonates as a beacon of hope and solidarity for audiences worldwide.
