"8EEN" from Londoner RaysMuzik is a syrupy love song that pays tribute to the couples who have a long history together. Over a lilting beat from J Hus and Belly Squad producer JoshuaBeatzz, RaysMuzik sings about a girl he always calls "when I'm feeling blue." The charismatic vocalist adds R&B, reggae and pop influences to the straight Afrobeats sound he has shown on his previous singles, making "8EEN" fit perfectly with the Afro-Trap sound blowing up in the U.K. right now.
Speaking to The FADER about "8EEN," RaysMuzik said: “This record is about that special woman I wish for in my life, that one special person who has never let me down. I appreciate how rare long-term relationships can be these days, and this is just my ode to staying together, through thick and thin."
