Rising R&B star Victor Ray has collaborated with U.K. rappers Kojey Radical and Strandz for stunning new single and video "Sticks & Stones."
It really is a beautiful track that tackles inner strength, mental health and the help that we all need from time to time. Melodically, it hits all of the old school R&B notes, with the U.K. grime enhancing the whole thing.
"Like each of the UK-based artist’s carefully considered songs, 'Sticks & Stones' serves up an undeniable display of passionate vocals and evocative storytelling," they say. "As a pitched-up soul sample and a ’90s-indebted groove kicks in, he paints a picture of growing up in a city, 'Where the clouds are gray enough to block out every star until the thought of ever reaching them is lost.' His guests Kojey Radical and Strandz share their own gritty visions, but even as he goes bar for bar with them in a rare rap verse, Ray focuses on the strength of will that it takes to turn dreams into reality."
