Description:
The new and long-awaited LP is Ray`s first official solo album and is a veritable masterclass in songwriting. Written, produced and arranged by Ray, the LP features 13 stunning new songs recorded in Konk Studios, London. "The first words on the album are `Things are gonna change, this is the morning after.` This indicates that I`m going to do things differently from now on," says Ray. Much of the inspiration for the album comes from Ray`s experiences of living in New Orleans, where he found both emotional and physical sanctuary. "I found I fitted in somewhere for the first time since I left Muswell Hill," he comments. Combining Ray`s distinctive vocals with astutely observed lyrics, the new album brims effervescently with Ray`s heady, unmistakable style and talent. Each song is a gem both lyrically and musically and tells the influence, journey and direction of Ray`s creative process. (v2)
