Take by Cloud Ray gives an amazing insight into the artist’s virtuosic style and skill. It is taken from his EP, Urban City Elegance, where the artist reflects on the affairs of his heart and mind. With beaming melodies and powerful verses, this explosive album makes for a great musical introduction.
Based in New Jersey, the up-and-coming Hip-Hop and Pop artist is inspired by a range of industry titans like J. Cole, Kanye West, Black Eyed Peas, and Nicki Minaj among others. And, this EP is right up there, with hard-hitting drums and fast-paced synth arpeggios lined up in a groovy rhythm.
Slices of electro-synths punctuate the effortless rap flow before flourishing into a magical mist of exhilarating house melodies. The stream of conscious flow recreates the protagonist’s experiences. And in the chorus, the euphonic sweeps of soulful vocals make for an immersive encounter. With mirroring harmonies dilating the soundscape, electric synth hooks accentuate it to put on a magnificent display.
In collaboration with 2x Platinum Producer and DJ, Treadway, Ray has released this debut album. The EP has five songs, each one wrapped up in magnificent whirlwinds of melody, dotted by reflective verses.
Available on Spotify, YouTube Music, and Apple Music!
