Working Hard EP
is a progressive 3 track compilation written and produced by Rai and Tay.

Both from Detroit, Tay now lives in Atlanta but the two bounce their ideas back and forth through various forms of digital media. Each letting the other be themselves, the end result is always unique. With the great feedback they received from their indie R&B creation, “What I Never Told You”, the duo is excited to offer up the next step in their collaborative relationship.
Minimal and a bit more downtempo, “Working Hard” speaks of rediscovering the self after a broken heart. The title refers to the fact that sometimes its hard work to get yourself to that place again. “Star Man” is a bit of an escape. Woven with Rai’s personal theory on ancient astronauts /(0__0), the line between fact and fiction gets blurred in this spacey story. The curiously titled, “Belly” is simply a fun sound scape. If you’ve ever had a case of the butterflies— you feel it in your belly, but it’s all about the heart. Lastly, “Jazz Hands” is a sad tail of loss and reflection— stripped down and organic, keeping the rawness of the feeling in tact.

Rai’s expertly crafted melodies and lyrics take you away while Tay’s unique production pulls you back in. You’ll want to listen again and again.
Combining flavors of electronic, soul, trip hop, hip hop, and pop the two have created their own brand of Indie Pop.
