Wavey, wavey…wavey. That’s the only way to describe ‘5050’, the latest track from South London singer/songwriter Ray BLK.
The beat, produced by Aston Rudi, is instantly addictive and when coupled with Ray’s polished vocals, creates a really standout track. From the moment you hear the opening line, which is a reference to Swedish band The Cardigans’ 1996 hit ‘Lovefool’, you know this track is going to be a smash and it 100% lives up to expectations.
The vibrant and artistically shot video sees Ray and her all-girl-crew in various locations around the capital’s south side, as she expresses the dramas and stresses that being the partner of a drug dealer comes with.
Following her Haversham EP, which dropped earlier this year, Ray BLK is set to put out a brand new project towards the start of 2016 and ‘5050’ is very likely to be a part of that. If this talented vocalist wasn’t already on your ‘ones to watch list’, you better start adding her now.
