Rain met couture by chance in a bar in New York and was enthusiastic about working with couture. They briefly talked about their respective music careers, but didn’t immediately seek to work together.
“Eventually, when I got signed to a label and it was taken seriously, I presented him with the concept for ‘Me & Somebody’s Son’ and the later release ‘Let Me Love’. We started working together.” she said.
Couture had just built his own studio in New York, so he had a place to record. Her experience, she claims, was well worth the cost.

She first became involved in New York while in Philadelphia. She was doing a play there and decided to go to New York for her audition. She started by taking a bus. Buses are relatively cheap and easy to get in and out of the city.
“I woke up at 4am, got to New York by 5:30am, signed up for auditions all day, waited until they started at 10am, and then hung around until the bus picked me up. I got up at 18:00.” said Ame.
This, she claims, is what made her fall in love with New York. Anyway, she chose to move there after realizing she was spending a lot of time a week there – it made sense. I thought I could.
