SAYA GRAY
ANNUNCIA L'ALBUM OMONIMO
SAYA
IN USCITA IL 21 FEBBRAIO 2025

CONDIVIDE OGGI IL SINGOLO
“SHELL ( OF A MAN )”
La talentuosa e anticonformista Saya Gray svela i dettagli per il suo album di debutto, SAYA, che uscirà il 21 febbraio 2025 tramite Dirty Hit. Offre ai suoi ascoltatori un'anteprima con il trionfante singolo principale del progetto, "SHELL (OF A MAN)", già disponibile ovunque.
Dalla pubblicazione del suo primo progetto, 19 MASTERS, acclamato dalla critica e uscito solo un paio d'anni fa, Saya Gray si è dimostrata impossibile da definire, un'artista il cui lavoro è senza limiti, affascinante, intimo, esaltante e davvero unico rispetto a qualsiasi altro musicista. È facile definire qualcosa "unico nel suo genere" è più difficile viverlo, respirarlo, racchiuderlo e condividerlo con il mondo: Saya Gray incarna quello spazio raro e invita tutti a farne parte.
Somewhat of a musical nomad, Saya bounds from genre to genre with a natural elegance, blurring the lines between them so seamlessly you don’t think twice. “SHELL ( OF A MAN )” draws from Country music, a sound that makes an appearance for the first time in Gray’s output, opening with a twang fueled guitar riff and vengeful lyrics, but is flipped on its head with sweet and airy vocals collaged a few times over. The resulting track is something that feels like a familiar breakup anthem, with resonant lyrics like “I’m still hung up on cobwebs,” but has what can only be characterized as a disjointed, uniquely-Saya melody that sets it apart from the rest.
SAYA finally came after the dissolution of a troubled romantic entanglement; Gray moved by the vastness of albums by the Beatles and Led Zeppelin, as well as her Canadian folk forebear, Joni Mitchell, Gray kept an acoustic guitar in the passenger’s seat, just in case inspiration would strike. In recording SAYA, Gray sanded and fine tuned the rough edges of records past into more cohesive works of melodic folk songcraft.
Is Saya Gray her own genre? We certainly would say so.

Saya follows a pair of critically-acclaimed EPs QWERTY and QWERTY II. Born out of the large periods of time she spent exploring her style, the 14 tracks perfectly demonstrate her stunningly detailed compositions. She first introduced herself to the world as a solo artist with 19 MASTERS. Recorded in large part through her iPhone’s Voice Notes app, her dissonant electro-rock sketches aptly met the moment of global post-pandemic disarray. It was dubbed one of the best albums of the year by TIME and her work has generally received accolades from The New York Times, Pitchfork, NPR, and more.
Gray has also showcased her unique sound at major festivals such as the Montreal Jazz Fest, Pitchfork Music’s Paris festival, Iceland Airwaves and Primavera Sound in Spain.
Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, by a Japanese mother and Scottish-Canadian father, Gray first got her start playing in a house band at a local church. By 16, she was invited for gigs at open mics, nightclubs and jazz festivals alongside adults.
