15-year-old singer-songwriter Edie Yvonne has become an indie-pop wunderkind over the last 12 months. With her cover of Blind Melon’s track, ‘No Rain,’ she cements her status as one of 2023’s best discoveries.
15-year-old singer/songwriter Edie Yvonna has shared her version of ‘No Rain,’ the iconic alternative-rock song written by Blind Melon and first released in 1992.
Based in Los Angeles, Edie has already had a seriously impactful music career despite her young age. The artist started 2023 by challenging herself to release a new single each month, as she dabbled in various genres and arrived at a distinctive music style.
The challenge was successful – with each song release, Edie began to increase her fanbase and generate much buzz from the press and music labels.
Her recent singles have included the macabre, Halloween-inspired song ‘Darkness Bliss,’ the blissful indie-synth banger ‘Queen Bee,’ and the delicate acoustic-pop number ‘In The Rain.’ Buoyed by some excellent production, Edie’s songs have resonated with critics, while her lyrics – focused on real-world issues that affect people her age – have resonated with thousands of listeners. As she has emerged with more confidence in her writing abilities, Edie’s songs often paint vivid images of the trusts, betrayals, aching romances, and classroom politics that define being a teenager in the modern world.
Beyond singing and songwriting, Edie has also been lauded for her acting abilities. She has starred in several films, making her first appearance in front of the camera at seven. Her credits include the short films Kitty (directed by Chloe Sevigny), Lola Girl Got A Gun, and At Ease. She is also working on a new project called The Suzys, which is currently in the early stages of development.
As 2023 draws close, Edie has shared her final single of the year, a brand-new cover of Blind Melon’s ‘No Rain.’ First released in the early ‘90s, the song quickly became an alt-rock anthem, its lyrics speaking to a generation of people who felt like outsiders and struggled to accept. The music video featuring the iconic ‘Bee Girl’ also became a cultural phenomenon and is still referenced in popular culture today.
In her version of the track, Edie Yvonne captures the song’s key messages, even as she slows the track down and molds it into her own thing. Her voice is dreamy and atmospheric as she breathes new life into these searching, melancholy lyrics about the minutiae of everyday life.
Edie Yvonne revealed that she chose to do a cover version of the song as an antidote to the sometimes overwhelming sense of false cheeriness in most pieces at this time of year.
She said: “If holiday music is not your vibe, this is my first cover – a slowed-down mellow version of.’ This is for those who are more somber over the holiday season.”
