Romain Swan & The Raindrops – “In My Head (The Live Album)”

Romain Swan & The Raindrops have been building their name in the rock scene for a while and I love their music, but “In My Head (The Live Album)” marks an important turning point. It captures the band in their rawest form, performing live without filters or playback. That choice gives listeners a clear sense of how much energy and honesty they bring to the stage.

The album plays like a full experience rather than just a recording of a setlist, you get the highs and lows of heartbreak, resilience, and even moments of confrontation, all backed by bold, emotional rock arrangements. Personally, I kept coming back to “Golden New Era”. The mix of intensity and hope in that track stayed with me long after the concert film ended. Songs like “Break Up The Glass” and “Hurting My Own” dive into more vulnerable spaces, while “We Will Win For Once” has a push-forward drive that works especially well in a live setting. The collaboration with Romane Baudry on “Bloody Business” adds a different layer that makes the performance even more gripping.

What comes across most is how much of the band’s identity is present in every song. The record genuinely sounds like four people giving everything on stage. For anyone curious, the YouTube concert film is worth watching too, since it pairs the music with the intensity of the visuals. To stay updated on Romain Swan’s next moves in 2025, follow him on social media, his live album is only the beginning.
