Since the release of her debut single “Raining Gold,” British born ARO aka Aimée Osbourne has gone on to impress critics and music fans worldwide. Described as “dreamy” by Rolling Stone Magazine, “Raining Gold” has received support from the likes of NPR and has amassed an impressive 2 million + YouTube views in just a couple of weeks. ARO (pronounced “arrow”), is the singer and songwriter who, at age 16, shunned the family spotlight and embraced anonymity in pursuit of an authentic musical career of her own. “It’s natural to want to rebel against what your parents do,” explains Aimée. “Once I accepted music was my path, I rebelled by wanting to do it my own way. I also didn’t think it was respectful to my father’s career and creativity to assume that I could jump on the back of all he had worked his entire life for.”Instead, the young artist spent her time browsing the aisles of record stores, discovering and being inspired by artists such as Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, Talking Heads, Johnny Cash, Doris Day, Björk, Portishead, Massive Attack and soul great Minnie Riperton.Clearly, her love of the avant-garde, dark, and cinematic music paid off. With a forthcoming EP in the works and a tour soon to be announced, ARO’s sultry, striking voice is ready to be revealed with her track “Raining Gold,” a haunting ballad with coolly enigmatic lyrics and a throbbing arrangement that unfolds like a slow-motion bomb blast, complete with the appropriate suspense and drama of this gripping accompanying video.
