Out Now On Soul Kitchen Recordings
One of the UK’s most exciting rising stars, Kay Greyson, has returned with her feel-good anthem and third release on Soul Kitchen Recordings, ‘Over and Over’.
Recorded by up and coming producer Johnny Newman, ‘Over and Over’ is the sound of an artist who has very much found their unique, trademark voice. Full of swagger and driven by an infectious brass hook and an undeniably anthemic chorus, Kay said of the track: “‘Over and Over’ is a motivational song about doing things you might not like or that are difficult, over and over, to get to where you want to be.’ She continues “you only get better at certain things through repetition and when you achieve results that’s what is going to make all those hard days feel real good.”
The release follows Kay’s collaboration with the Voices of Virtue and Howard Gospel Choirs on their cover of Stevie Wonder’s, ‘Heaven Help Us All’. The track was released in celebration of the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King receiving an honorary degree in Civil Law from Newcastle University on November 13th 1967. With all proceeds going to the ‘Songs of Freedom’ education programme which aims, in the words of Stevie Wonder, to “bring everyone together, no matter their race, religion (or) colour”, Kay cements herself as a leading voice in Newcastle in the continued fight for equality.
Rapping and performing since she was a teenager, 22 year-old Kay has gained a reputation in Newcastle as one of the hardest working artists there is. Her sound fuses the flair and style of modern hip-hop with the skill and sensibilities of the golden era, hitting with the vibe of Lil Uzi Vert and the substance of Mos Def. Having already supported hip-hop legends like The Game, KRS One, DJ Yella and Akala, to name but a few, Kay continues to create her own legend.
Kay’s exuberant live performances, including one at The Royal Albert Hall for the MYF Youth Proms, another at BBC Introducing Live in London, a packed out performance at Hit The North music festival and a string of top-drawer singles earned her the award of Newcomer of the Year at the 2019 Journal Culture Awards. ‘Over and Over’ is her third release on Soul Kitchen Recordings (Jake Bugg) and follows previous releases ‘Paris’ and the fashion victim expose ‘Out of Time’.
