It features guest appearances from Emmylou Harris, Milk Carton Kids, and the producer of Wright's previous album, Rodney Crowell, who co-wrote "At the Heart of Me" with Wright and Henry.

Singularity,the stunning debut album from Rain featuring John Jowitt and Andy Edwards (ex IQ and Frost) is released on CD. The complete Rain line-up is: Rob Groucutt - Vocals, Keys, Guitar; Andy Edwards Drums; John Jowitt Vocals, Bass; Mirron Vocals, Guitar. John Jowitt: "It's been about ten years since I played with Andy, in both IQ and Frost - it's a really instinctual rhythm section. With Rain, Andy has had the chance to show what an all-round musician he is. Rob and Mirron are both amazing musicians, songwriters and singers, and it's just a great combination. I'm really pleased that our old friends at GEP have shown faith in the band - it's one of those albums that I would have bought if I'd not been on it. It's prog, Jim, but not as we know it."
