Saya Gray - EMPATHY 4 BETHANY

We’ve been waiting for the right time to feature Saya Gray. But honestly, I wish we didn’t have to. Because this blog is typically reserved for artists that could in some way, shape, or form, benefit from the limited exposure we have to offer. And when it comes to this Toronto-based singer/songwriter/producer, she has the skill, and more importantly the creative vision, to be the best to seemingly ever do it. Her catalogue is still in its infancy stages, but she came on with an absolute bang last year with the release of one of our favorites of 2021, “SHALLOW (PPL SWIM IN SHALLOW WATER)”. And what she’s put out in her newest single “EMAPTHY 4 BETHANY” is a tune that’s hard to fully grasp. Almost as if you’ve got to be Saya herself to completely relate and understand the themes resonating below the surface. With most music you love, the instinctive response is to try to find ways to make it your own, but there’s something about Saya’s work that contradicts that. Almost as if you can appreciate it more by knowing you’ve got this finite moment of time inside Saya’s world before your inevitable transport back to reality. And if you’re anything like us - where music nowadays simply isn’t getting you the fix you need anymore - Saya Gray arrives in the most eloquent of fashions to save the day.
