Winter's Cold Breath

Winter's Cold Breath (Instrumental)

Last year, a month before Nicole gave birth to her first child, she visited Leon Michels in upstate NY and cooked up two of the toughest and most moving songs we’ve heard from her to date. We’ve been patiently sitting on this release for a few months now, and it is an understatement to say Big Crown is proud to present the newest 45 from Lady Wray.
Side A,“Piece Of Me” , sounds like a lost Dilla beat that sampled a lost David Porter song. Guaranteed to have heads nodding from the first snare crack, Nicole sings a tune about the difficulties of dealing with family and friends who need more than you can provide. The chorus says it all, “I’ll let you take a piece of me, I hope you get the piece you need, and if that’s not enough I’ll let you go peacefully...” From the jump, Nicole’s voice takes the listener into a world where you have no choice but to feel something in the pit of your stomach.
Side B “Come On In” finds Lady Wray tapping into her early years singing in church. With only three instruments and Nicole’s voice, “Come On In” is a masterclass in the craft of singing, the sound of soul, and the power of restraint.

Lady Wray - Piece Of Me - BC068-45 - Side A

I’ve broken all my mirrors
Cause I look just like the bogieman,
My vision swallowed by this New York City harmattan.
I see a woman’s grin explode under a warm caress;
I think about it later when I’m…

I’m coming of age I guess

(I hope you understand)

In the distance I can see you there,
Cigarette stuck in your face;
I near you as you stub it on a bright bodega canopy.
I don’t know what your deal is, but can I have some?
I can’t recall how long it’s been since I’ve talked to anyone.

In a minute I am leaving all the things I believed in:
Everything I’ll ever need, lip-to-drink in front of me.
A flower in your pasture, my stem extending faster,
I bite my lip to fight to last but i’m…

I’m still coming of age, I guess

I’d like you to think that I know what I’m doing,
But darling I ain’t so proud.
Truth is you topple my fortress to ruin;
If I do it wrong, would you help me out?
You say, ‘baby boy, you better shut your mouth.’

Now I stampede through the city fueled with alcohol euphoria,
Then I stumble through the midnight to your mattress in Astoria.
I see the battle won: the trumpets shout it from your face:
How deceiving is the fun of sleeping in a different place.

Another sun, another head, the happy one of August, dead.
Forgetting all I adored, I fade from you, afraid and bored.
Now I’m pushin’ rope, another bed,
I close my eyes, raise my head, 
when your face usurps the one I’m with and I’m…

baby I’m still coming of age, I guess…

I meant to say sorry when later I saw you, but some other words fell out.
Instead I asked whether you think of me ever,
you just stood there with a why’d-you-say-that frown.
I guess I never learned to shut my mouth.

I hope you understand.

Coming Of Age

Charlie, Baby
