Rainbow Codes ~ Medicine Music ~ Live Sound Healing, Vol. 1 arrived on June 22, 2026, as an eight-track album. It is one of only two full albums in Shanin Blake's catalog, the other being Divine Dopamine, a 31-track project from October 2024. Most of Shanin's output of roughly twenty releases between 2022 and 2026 has come as singles, so an album that names its purpose in the title carries weight.
The title is the clearest statement of intent in the discography. "Medicine Music" and "Live Sound Healing" tie the recording to the practice Shanin describes on their site as "Music for the Heart": songs, retreats and experiences meant to help people reconnect with their truth. The "Vol. 1" suggests more may follow, though nothing confirms a schedule. Elsewhere the catalog pulls toward pop-facing, self-empowerment singles like Money Flow and Bad Btch Energy. This album sits at the other end of that range, closest to the ceremony side of the work.
A caution first: the available material does not list instruments, vocal approach, tempo or production details, and it names no collaborators. What follows is drawn from the album's framing, not from a catalog of its sounds.
The "Live Sound Healing" label suggests material made for receptive listening in a session, not for background playlists. In the sound bath context Shanin works in, sustain and pacing tend to matter more than rhythmic drive, and that is a reasonable expectation to bring. The artist's own vocabulary of sound initiation and sacred ceremonies points to a mood of intention and spaciousness. Beyond that, trust your ears. If instrumentation or vocal style matters to you, audition the album on Spotify or Apple Music before committing a full evening to it.
I can't responsibly name individual tracks here. The source material gives the album's title, its eight-track count and its release date, but not a track list, and guessing at titles would mislead you. The Spotify page for the album lists all eight.
What I can offer is a way of listening for what makes any track land on a record like this. Notice how a piece opens and how long it takes to settle. Notice where the voice enters, and whether it leads or dissolves into the surrounding sound. Notice where the music asks you to stay instead of moving you forward. On a live sound healing album, the moments that land are usually the ones where the recording lets time stretch, and the eight-track length makes it easy to follow that arc from first track to last.
Shanin Blake's work has no formal lineage, guru or institutional tradition named in the available material, so I won't assign one. The artist's recurring terms (sound initiation, sacred ceremonies, vortex gatherings, soul family) place the music in the contemporary sound bath and intentional retreat scene. The profile also carries a devotional music tag, which suggests the songs are meant to work as ritual or prayer-like material. Treat that as a pointer to function, not a claim about bhakti, kirtan or any other specific school.
What sets the album apart in that scene is the loop between recording and gathering. Shanin hosts intimate, retreat-style private concerts paired with ceremony, with sound baths at the center and breathwork, yoga, meditation, intuition practices and ShanTalks around them. The album reads as a document of, or companion to, that live practice.
This album is for listeners who come to music with intention. It will suit someone already curious about sound baths, or someone in a period of reflection, transition or inner reconnection who wants music that serves that process. It also suits people who run their own breathwork, yoga or meditation practice and want something to build a session around. At eight tracks, it fits a home routine without demanding a full-day commitment.
It will land less well for anyone who wants music as pure background texture, for fans of high-tempo electronic or club sounds, or for skeptics of spiritual vocabulary, since that framing is central to how the work is presented. Someone arriving from the pop-leaning singles should expect a very different register.
Give the album one uninterrupted sitting, evening if you can, with headphones or good speakers and the lights low. Silence your phone and listen from the first track through the last, without skipping or shuffling. If you practice breathwork or meditation, let the album accompany that, or lie down and let it do the work alone.
Before you start, set a simple intention, the kind the retreat framing invites. Afterward, sit quietly for a few minutes before returning to your day. If you want the full context, shaninblake.com is the place to look for retreat details, since no upcoming events were available.
