She came to me one day and said, “Irene, you need to make house music.” She kept after me for a few years, and finally, I said “yes,” and I was delighted I did. Rachael is great to work with, and she knows her stuff. I'm on her trendy label “Trax,” which is world known.”
Eddie Gordon, President of Kings of Spins said this about Irene's music, “Love the sweet vocal, reminiscent of the amazing Jon Anderson from his halcyon days with YES… I believe “I Like The Rain” is going to leave golden pearl drops all around the world, it is such a unique recording.”
