On October 31st 2013 The First Single And Title Track "Not In Vain" From The Forthcoming Album Was Released- And Quickly Became Quinn's Best-Selling Digital Song. "Not In Vain" Showcases A Surprisingly Clear Evolution -Both Sonically And Artistically- When Compared To The Material On Her Self-Titled Debut Album Yet The Song Unmistakably Remains A "Raven Quinn" Track From The Very First Listen. "Not In Vain" Boasts A Beautiful Juxtaposition Of Heavy Guitars Haunting Piano And Driving Percussion Bolstered By Quinn's Signature Blend Of Both Ethereal And Aggressive Vocals Which Are At Their Best Here- Specifically During The Eerily Haunting And Almost Mystical Introduction That Opens The Track.
