Avenue Music: Piano Hour by Reya Ray 



As promised it's finally here in celebration of his acclaimed single Ngwana Mopulana. Piano Hour serves lengthy bops that satisfy the dancefloor moves and good time vibes. Most of the tracks are with frequent collaborators such as Keen9 & Tash Malikk.

Our favorite song is Kedibone featuring KB Master, Thati T, Lesyara Lesco. TpeeAs & Tash Malikk.  it's one you can't help but immediately fall in love with. It carries the right arrangement and settles you in for a good time, every artist gets a chance to stand out and blend well with others. Stunning word play and beautiful pacing. 
Bula Hennessy is amapiano gold. Reya Ray flows like he's in familiar territory. His versatility as an artist actually shines. It's commercial and like a glass of champagne it's just lush. 
Di Putso on this one you're taken on a journey with a soothing instrumentation that's eargasm at its best. Reya gets sentimental and trust me it's that lover's record you need. Wow truly blown away. I can say give this man his flowers already!! He's rich in his art and he walks into it with so much confidence that he shines. 
Wakabani featuring Keen9 & Tash Malikk this one starts with a more stripped and laid-back vibe until the chorus dives into catchy energy. It balances the other songs as this one ties together perfectly to the others. 

Overall this EP solidifies his artistry. Reya is a force and he's someone to look out for. He knows his way around the records and understands his capabilities and how to express his desired vision. We give it a 4.9/5.
