'Standing in the Rain' is the eagerly anticipated second album from one of New Zealand's best-loved soul-funk bands, Opensouls!

Formed in 2002, Opensouls have steadily risen through the ranks of the New Zealand music scene since beginning their combined musical journey.

Comprised of 2 vocalists, M.C. Bjorn Petersen and singer Tyra Hammond and a live band including Jeremy Toy a.k.a. Ota (guitar/MPC), Julien Dyne (drums), Chip Mathews (bass), Steph Brown (keys), Scott Towers (saxophone), Isaac Aesili (trumpet/vocals) and Harlin Davey a.k.a. DJ Buttafinger (turntables), the collective possesses an abundance of musical flair and experience which they used to great effect on their critically acclaimed debut album, 'Kaleidoscope'.
