Michael Gilas Releases New Single “Working With The Rain”
Friday, February 7 - Today, singer-songwriter Michael Gilas releases his new single “Working With The Rain” across all DSP platforms. The track (which debuted on Billboard at #21) is an inspiring ode to letting go of expectation and the need to know what the present and future has in store. In a world where we often try to control our circumstances, “Working With The Rain” reminds us of the importance of finding peace in what we cannot change. With lyrics like “I’m betting on sunshine, and working with the rain,” Michael Gilas captures the delicate balance between hope and acceptance, and the beauty that can arise from surrendering.
Michael Gilas shares "Working with the rain is like working above it—it’s a metaphor for dealing with challenges, people, and situations in life. The song is about navigating these elements, learning to live alongside them, and making life work by facing them head-on, rather than avoiding them".
LISTEN TO “WORKING WITH THE RAIN”
Michael Gilas is an artist whose music reflects his journey of personal transformation, inspiring resilience and recovery. Originally from Long Island - now based in San Diego - his evolution as a singer-songwriter mirrors his move West, a decision that sparked his most powerful work yet. His debut album, 231 Kensington Road, stands as a testament to that shift—each track a reflection of his renewal amidst setbacks and change, as well as a testament to his versatility as an artist. Inspired by greats of soulful and classic rock like The Eagles, Steely Dan, and Fleetwood Mac, Michael’s mission is to create a fresh sound that is inspired by the past but with a new edge. His body of work began as raw thoughts, eventually finding structure, guided by a thematic emotion or melody. Now, with the success of singles like “Let’s Get Back to Us”, “This Is The Last Time” and “Voodoo Queen” behind him, he’s boldly entering a new chapter both personally and sonically.
