    Lady Wray Piece Of Me / Come On In

    Big Crown Records
      • 1. Piece Of Me
      • 2. Come On In

      Side A,“Piece Of Me” , sounds like a lost Dilla beat that sampled a lost David Porter song. Guaranteed to have heads nodding from the first snare crack, Nicole sings a tune about the difficulties of dealing with family and friends who need more than you can provide. The chorus says it all, “I’ll let you take a piece of me, I hope you get the piece you need, and if that’s not enough I’ll let you go peacefully...” From the jump, Nicole’s voice takes the listener into a world where you have no choice but to feel something in the pit of your stomach.

      Side B “Come On In” finds Lady Wray tapping into her early years singing in church. With only three instruments and Nicole’s voice, “Come On In” is a masterclass in the craft of singing, the sound of soul, and the power of restraint.
