Landing the #2 spot on the Shazam Chart in Canada, #1 spots in Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver, “Flowers Need Rain” showcases Preston Pablo’s rising popularity and audience recognition across the country. In the few months since the song’s release back in early April, “Flowers Need Rain” has garnered over 5 million streams, been added to numerous Canadian & US Top playlists like “Summer Hits”, “Hot Hits Canada”, & “Daily Lift”, and most recently has broken into the CA Top 20 and the US Top 200 Chart. As the song nears the CA Top 10, currently sitting at #13, be sure to hear more “Flowers Need Rain” as the summer progresses. The song is currently in the top 50 of the Top 200 Charts on Spotify and Apple Music.

“’Flowers Need Rain’, at it's core, is a conversation between myself and my personal journey of making music,” says Preston Pablo. “There are peaks and valleys along the way, but the connection I have to the music that I make is eternal. Stripping the song down to just piano and strings highlights the vulnerability and message which are the foundation of the song. This acoustic version of Flowers Need Rain is extremely special to me, and I hope it touches some people along the way."
