Tory Lanez Releases New Project “PLAYBOY” Featuring the lead single “Feels” alongside Chris Brown

(Los Angeles, CA – March 4, 2021) Tory Lanez is preparing the release of his newest project PLAYBOY, symbolizing the deep feelings he felt upon the creative process, emotions caused by a breakup that left him vulnerable. “Emotionally, I was able to flow creatively. Some of my best creations come out when I’m vulnerable,” he describes. This is best characterized in “Deceiving Eve,” the track he felt the most vulnerable of the project. “This is me being as honest as I can be on a record,” he shared, adding, “For the first time in a long time, I was writing R&B from a place of hurt and vulnerability, Unlike a lot of my other R&B which is based on the pure vibe and catchy melodies.”

Lanez recently dropped the music video for the lead single “Feels” which has received over 11 million YouTube views 17M in total consumption in just over a week. Directed by Christian Breslauer and featuring R&B crooner Chris Brown the song is a seductive ballad that showcases the two singers rhapsodizing over bedroom antics. Brown and Lanez previously collaborated on tracks like “Flexible” and “The Take” off Lanez’ Chixtape 5 album which generated over 300M in total streaming consumption, and 40 million YouTube views. The two have teased a potential collaborative project for the future.

On working with Brown he says, “Me and my Bro are not playing. This song is kicking off my new capsule PLAYBOY. This is one of my favourite bangers to date. It’s R&B season.”

Playboy comes on the heels of Lanez’s Rap capsule Loner and his full-length album Daystar which reached #4 on Billboard U.S Rap and Hip Hop/R&B Billboard charts. It also soared to #10 on the U.S. Billboard 200.

Lanez says, “I want my listeners to walk away with an understanding of how my emotions are and I want them to understand that this is an honest depiction of how I feel about relationships and people that are close to me.”

“Rainbow Family” by Dryadic evokes a luminous folk-pop anthem of mutual bonding

“Rainbow Family” is a hallmark composition by the folk ensemble Dryadic, co-founded by Zora McDonald and Joanna Dziecelska, who previously achieved acclaim with The Tatsmiths. Since its establishment in 2017, Dryadic has cultivated a singular sonic identity that resonates profoundly with individuals who identify as outsiders. This track is a mesmerizing tribute to the resilience of interpersonal bonds forged through adversity, focusing on themes of chosen families, misfits, and unanticipated communities articulated in a sonic landscape that feels particularly poignant on a chilly evening.

Composed during a lockdown period, Zora McDonald conceived “Rainbow Family” while living on a canal boat in rural Gloucestershire. The piece delves into the transformative aspects of isolation and the pursuit of solace amidst trying circumstances. The single’s introduction features a complex melodic framework that gradually envelops the listener within a rich acoustic tapestry. The instrumental is meticulously constructed, incorporating intricate fiddle lines, a grounding double bass, and stomp percussion that evoke a dynamic sense of motion akin to a flowing river.

Lyrically, the song is steeped in authenticity, effectively capturing the intricate nature of human connections within a fragmented social milieu. Zora’s heart-soaring vocal execution showcases vulnerability and assertiveness, imbuing each lyric with considerable emotional resonance. The accompanying music video, highlighting members of her queer community, visually reinforces the thematic core of love, resilience, and chosen kinship.

Musically, Dryadic draws from an eclectic array of influences, notably the stylistic echoes of artists like The Levellers, while weaving elements of European folk traditions into their compositional approach. This intermingling demonstrates how folk music transcends temporal constraints, embodying narratives that reflect historical inclusivity and evolving cultural stories. “Rainbow Family” emerges as a meticulously crafted anthem for marginalized communities, inviting listeners to unite, celebrate shared identities, and collaboratively foster a sense of belonging. This track is a must-listen for those seeking deeper connections within their communities, embodying the notion of finding a home through one another.
