Originally released in May 2025 as After Sunset, Raine’s fifth album was reimagined and rereleased in July that same year under the title After Sunset (Rewritten).

Musical influences
Raine draws inspiration from a wide spectrum of artists and genres, with a particular affinity for 90s grunge and indie rock. Her music is shaped by iconic bands like Blur, Nirvana, and Green Day, as well as influential indie acts such as Laney Jones, Jebediah, and Big Heavy Stuff—whose distinct sounds and independent ethos left a lasting imprint on her style. Blending melodic guitar progressions with raw, emotive vocals, her songs carry a sense of familiarity and individuality. Personal experiences and collaborations with fellow artists also play a significant role in shaping her sound. This eclectic mix of influences is especially evident in her third album, Downfall, which nods to the pop-punk energy of Green Day while standing firmly in its own sonic territory.
