In a cross-continental collaboration, Aussie musician Jamie Lane teams up with American artist Naji to unveil “Say It Again.” Boasting an invigorating draw, "Say It Again” is a fresh take on contemporary R&B. Chambers of charming, distorted vocals melt into the optimistic electronic production with ease. Naji brings a raw, rhythmic feel to the digital resonance, propelling the track into a different dimension. Assembling a tapestry of genres to create a single outline, “Say It Again” is as intellectual as it is musically dynamic, Lane quotes “Although the track has easy going vibes it’s lyrically a fairly personal song. There are a few themes running through it but the main one is; trying to establish real confidence through drive & will, instead of through the validation from others, which always leads back to self-doubt and depression.” A single rich in value with an acute attention to the technicalities of electronic production, “Say It Again” is a stunning reveal.

ELI WAY & IAN EWING - HAPPY WITH U (FEAT. NAJI)
Music, Original MixCommentIt's been a hell of a week. One full of hope, and excitement...despair and frustration. I was encouraged by some of the responses to our new president elect and discouraged by others. Respect is the most important thing to me and while many have been surprised and confused about the results we have to continue forward and overcome adversity. Life is full of setbacks, but it's about how you respond to those setbacks that will prove the real test of your mettle. Having said that, the real reason I'm divulging into such a rant is that I want everyone to just RELAX. You'll never solve anything upset so I'm providing you with this musical dose of chill to bring us back to square one. Eli Way just recently came onto my radar and oooohhh I'm soo glad he did. This amazing future soul producer has put out some absolutely amazing records like "If It Makes You Happy feat. Cehryl" and "Just Wanna Love You". I promise you this guy is ready to explode and I'm super excited to provide the introduction! Dive into his newest "Happy With U" co-written with Milwaukee based soul producer brethren Ian Ewing featuring rapper Naji. Start keeping tabs because this is just the beginning.
