SiR - You can't save me (D.K.'s Dirty Riddim)

Listen & download: https://melting-pot-music.lnk.to/velvetblue

‘Velvet Blue’ is the third single by Ray Lozano, releasing on February 2nd. Ray Lozano is a German-Filipino singer, born and raised in Cologne. She is a songwriter and producer who likes to dabble in playing piano, bass, and guitar. With ‘Velvet Blue’, she offers another musical short story taken from her debut album ‘Pairing Mode’, which will be released on March 3rd.

In each song (or chapter) Ray moves through a perspective on solitude. From longing for love to feeling contempt with yourself, disoriented, and then empowered again. Ray’s honest lyrics paired with her vulnerable, yet sophisticated and bold voice guide us through an emotional dreamy space found somewhere between heartbreak and hope. “’Pairing Mode’ is like a collection of polaroid pictures. Or like a menu, composed of several delicate dishes” she explains, emphasizing that it is to be enjoyed with all our senses. Every track is “a moment that has been captured and is complete as it is.”

Ray and her co-producer Samon Kawamura (Max Herre, Joy Denalane, Megaloh) create a landmark in German-Asian culture. Their sound is following in the footsteps of the art and soul of Solange's ‘When I Get Home’ plus some quirkiness à la Tierra Whack - but always undoubtedly Ray Lozano. Her music offers a sense of home - direct, soothing, and playful. ‘Pairing Mode’ is accompanied by a strikingly gorgeous poetic film, produced by visual artist Parissa Charghi.

Ray Lozano - Velvet Blue

This EP I really wanted to release a collection of modern day love songs. For the player who wants to hang up the jersey, and for the woman who is done with the games. The perfect soundtrack to clean the crib on a Saturday morning, getting ready for a night out, or just kicking at the crib with your boo.

A daughter of soul and R&B royalty, Alex Isley has spent more than a decade forging her own path: touring with Alicia Keys and Selena Gomez, and earning Grammy nominations for her work with jazz musician Robert Glasper. Her new EP, ‘When,’ is a rebirth of sorts; her full-length album is coming soon. In this exclusive commentary, she talks through the making of tracks such as “Hands,” “Holding On,” and “Mic On,” a collaboration with Kaytranada. Going deep into self-reflection and intimacy, Isley opens up; on “Ms. Goody Two Shoes,” Alex says, “There’s something powerful and sexy about leaving certain things to mystery.” Hear more, only on SoundCloud.
