About Snakeskin

On the haunting closing track of her debut album, Rina sings about her choice of pouring her personal pain into commercial pop songs. As a closure to a very personal and introspective album that deals mostly with family issues, “Snakeskin” stands as a grand finale into acceptance of your own personal history and reclaim of all personal issues as forms of strength, over a triumphant dancefloor-ready production that samples Beethoven’s “Piano Sonata No. .
