Chicago artist Frank Sintich’s latest single, “Hasn’t Stopped Raining Yet,” is a meditative, soul-baring journey that blends poetic grit with classic rock sensibility. Rooted in a deeply personal reaction to the New Year’s Eve violence in New Orleans, the track hits with emotional immediacy, channeling anguish into art. From the opening chords, a swirl of jangly psychedelica and martial rhythms sets a mood both urgent and introspective.
Sintich’s voice cuts through the storm with the weight of lived experience. His lyrics don’t shy away from pain or struggle—instead, they lean into it, suggesting that within the darkness, resilience still flickers. There are echoes of Springsteen’s heartland realism, Tom Petty’s sun-baked melodicism, and the storytelling depth of Tom Waits, yet Sintich’s sound remains distinct. As a seasoned guitarist and songwriter, Sintich brings a well-earned maturity to the track, and co-produced with Lou Samaniego, the production balances rawness with polish, allowing the emotional core to stay front and center. “Hasn’t Stopped Raining Yet” is a remarkably effective reflection on a specific tragedy, but there’s also a universal struggle apparent with every line which will be instantly relatable to so many listeners.
