GloRilla was birthed Gloria Hallelujah Woods. In all probability it’s unsurprising {that a} woman with Hallelujah as her middle title will surely make such a gospel-inspired observe, nevertheless that’s particularly what “RAINFALL DOWN ON ME” is. The observe contains scripture titan Kirk Franklin, Chandler Moore, Kierra Sheard, and Radical Metropolis Songs. It’s an one-of-a-kind observe on GLORIOUS, finishing up a dependable gospel/entice combine. The piano and choral adlibs look like one thing one will surely take heed to at a Black church.
