Wikipedia article
"'Let It Rain'" is a song by English pop boy band East 17, released on 13 March 1995 as the fourth single from their second album, 'Steam' (1994). It reached number one in Lithuania, and the top 10 in Finland, Ireland and the UK. Additionally, it was a top 20 hit in Australia, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Norway.
Critical reception
Music writer James Masterton wrote in his weekly UK chart commentary, that "Let It Rain" "turns back to the harder dance sound that typifies much of their output and sounds in places like a distant relation of their first hit House Of Love back in September 1992." A reviewer from 'Music Week' rated it four out of five, calling it "a more upbeat, but equally commercial, follow-up to the band's Christmas number one is in remixed form, ensuring interest from even 'Steam'-owning fans." The reviewer added, "It will no doubt be boosted by the lads' Brits performance last week." Alan Jones deemed it "preposterous". James Hamilton from the magazine's 'RM' Dance Update described it as a "'love rain down on me' chorused rap [track]".
Music video
A music video was produced to promote the single. It was later published on YouTube in September 2017. The video has amassed more than 2,2 million views as of September 2021.
