Following the release of her first single, ‘KANSAS’, up-and-coming hip-hop artist Ray Leslie strikes again with her second single, ‘CLOSE 2 YOU’.
A beautiful tribute to love, the Auckland-based rapper writes about a deep connection she shares with somebody, masterfully combining the use of realistic storytelling and metaphoric imagery. As always, the prolific lyricist is able to beautifully express the feel of the track, which in this particular instance, is a feeling of intimacy. Melodic vocals accompanying the lofi/dream-like beat breaks this track beyond hip-hop. Ray experiments with her singing vocals and adds an alternative-pop twist, showcasing her versatility in this two-minute track.
