Rainsford’s new single ‘Butterfly’ is a dreamy reflection on toxic love
Rainsford, the musical project of Rainey Qualley, returns with the intoxicating new single ‘Butterfly,’ out today via Sparta Distribution.
Written and produced with Michael Kamerman (Smallpools), ‘Butterfly’ captures the emotional complexity of clinging to a love that may be more harmful than healing. Swirling with ethereal textures and anchored by Rainsford’s delicate vocals, the track evokes a sense of wistful vulnerability and longing. It’s a sonic slow burn—both weightless and heavy, personal yet universal.
Discussing ‘Butterfly,’ Rainey notes:
“You know when it’s dark out, how insects are drawn to the light – they bounce off the bulb again and again, or they circle the flame till their wings catch on fire. This song is about a love like that.”
With ‘Butterfly,’ Rainsford captures the ache and beauty of loving someone who might never love you right—and does so with the grace and gravity of an artist stepping fully into her own.
