Producer, singer and songwriter Cray has always stood out from the crowd, thanks to a strong sense of honesty and storytelling. The Canadian-born artist and live-stream gamer made a name for herself with trap sounds, but soon expanded with her own blend of empowering lyrics and genre-less sounds.
The seven-track collection was written over about a year and a half period, during which Cray ended a relationship and struggled through a journey of self-acceptance. It works through a few different moods, all centered around a theme of letting go of people and things you've outgrown to make room for your truest self.
"It's very much like a diary," she says, "and that's why the artwork is hand made and the songs have dates next to them -- to explain the journey of when I wrote them. This EP is almost a story of falling out of love with someone and back into love with themselves. It's angry, sad, hopeful and powerful.
The opening title track and haunted hooptie rattler "Eat Your Heart Out" play with spooky, creepy crawler moods. Ballads "Raining Pouring" and the experimental "Once I'm Older" celebrate this new beginning, while synth-heavy standout "Idontwannatalkaboutlove" sees Cray take charge of her own power and owning her path to success.
"I have so much to say, and I really wanted to start making records with predominant vocals," she says. "As I was diving into that direction it lead me to creating this indie pop electronic hybrid that I completely fell in love with."is out everywhere Tuesday, Oct. 15, on Ultra Records, but you can listen to the EP in full a day early below, exclusively on
