Raina Sokolov-Gonzalez: Healing Through Music
Raina Sokolov-Gonzalez invites us to pause, reflect, and breathe with her latest single, The Healing — a meditation on gratitude wrapped in the warm embrace of Jazz, R&B, and Gospel. This isn’t just a song; it’s a soulful reminder that every moment we share is a blessing. As Raina puts it, “Grounded in the body, The Healing remembers the preciousness of life”.
A Brooklyn-based singer and composer with music in her DNA, Raina grew up speaking the language of melody and rhythm. Rooted in Jazz and R&B, her soundscape is alive with harmonic intricacies and raw, poetic storytelling. Her songs begin with improvisation, digging into emotional truths and transforming the everyday into something profound. Vulnerable and brave, her music invites us into her sonic world — a space where honesty shines and connection deepens.
Produced by her brother Jake Sokolov-Gonzalez, mixed by Grammy-winning Jon Rosenberg, and mastered by 2x Grammy-nominated Ryan Schwabe, The Healing is an intentional creation from lyrics to arrangement. It delivers feel-good vibes alongside a much-needed message of hope and connection, building on themes explored in her previous releases, Who Is She and Like I See You.
Who Is She unpacks the evolving roles of women and the legacy of gender across generations, while Like I See You flips the love song script, celebrating the steadfast friendships that see us through life’s highs and lows.
With over a million Spotify streams and glowing features in The New York Times, Complex, Wonderland Magazine, and Rolling Stone, Raina’s music is touching hearts globally. She’s lit up iconic venues like Public Records, Brooklyn Bowl, and SOB’s, and her 2022 tours brought her soulful message to audiences across Europe and the West Coast.
Raina’s hope? That her music gives people permission to feel deeply — to let tenderness take up space, to connect honestly, and to love courageously.
Take a listen. Feel it. Share the love.
Big love,
