Arin Ray’s ‘Gold‘ is a record that’ll take you straight to cloud nine. With life looking like an Issa Rae scene, what’s better than to have a golden girl on his arm?
‘Has it returned at last, my light, my fire? Let’s enjoy ourselves, inspired Gave me something I had to earn Gotta save that, save that gold‘
Don’t be fooled by all the poeticism and the orchestral touches throughout the record — ‘The Mood’ (feat. D Smoke) was definitely not his last time choosing violence. He’s got a way with words and he’s also got the Midas Touch.
Just a day after this drop, Ray released a music video that he directed alongside Whipalo. He’s captured cruising around the bends with his lady en route to their private getaway. Beware though: all of the public displays of affection and deep stares into the camera will make you want to punch the air in desperation for some love and affection.
With all of the momentum built from his latest singles, there definitely seems to be a sophomore album in the works.
While you’re on the lookout, be sure to add ‘Gold‘ to all of your velvet smooth playlists!
