grandson and Jessie Reyez Release New Song “Rain” from “The Suicide Squad” Soundtrack
Canadian-American singer-songwriter grandson joined in an upcoming superhero film “The Suicide Squad” soundtrack.
He teamed up with Canadian singer-songwriter Jessie Reyez to release a new song “Rain” from the soundtrack on June 22, 2021.
The track was written by Jessie Reyez, Boonn, KRUPA and grandson. Produced by KRUPA and Boonn.
“The Suicide Squad” is a sequel to the 2016 film “Suicide Squad” and is based on the DC Comics team Suicide Squad.
The film was directed by James Gunn, starring Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Joel Kinnaman, Sylvester Stallone, Viola Davis, Jai Courtney, and Peter Capaldi.
The film is scheduled to be theatrically released in the UK on July 30, 2021, and in the US on August 6th.
“'Rain' is the theme song for making sense of personal tragedy. Through this track, I hope others find reassurance that whatever difficulty they're going through leads to a broader, fuller perspective on life's beauty somewhere down the road,” grandson said. “I found James Gunn as a mentor and friend during the pandemic, and we began sharing our work as I finished my album and he finished his movie. When he heard 'Rain' it was clear that it spoke to him. I had been a fan of Jessie for years through mutual collaborators in the Toronto/LA scene, and knew she would resonate as well and offer her own unique contribution to bring this one to the finish line.”- vTVUAXfyGqs

Jessie said, “I respect grandson as an artist so of course I was really excited to work with him; when he called me up to bat to feature on “Rain”, it was a no-brainer. I'm also a fan of James Gunn and his work, so to be able to contribute a small part of my creativity to the world of Suicide Squad is an honour.”
Director James Gunn said, “When grandson first played me 'Rain' I felt it pierced directly to the emotional heart of 'The Suicide Squad. Months later, I still haven't stopped singing it in the shower. Having Jessie on the track, another of my favourite new artists, is simply icing on the cake.”- source : Spotify
