I'll Stay by TRACY SOOTHES
The Song
"The song is a journey about a couple at the crossroads of one another but who decide to choose joy in the end. I wrote the track during the first UK lockdown, trying capture what I and so many couples were feeling (especially those on the verge of breaking up). The song is produced by an up and coming producer Relf Kent, who happens to be from Kent, England. At the start of the pandemic, we worked back and forth over zoom and I recorded at home in a make shift booth with a duvet over my head. I chose to keep the original demo vocals because it was such a honest reflection of that moment and would have done me no good trying to recreate it again. All in all, this track is a pre-cursor to what's to come from my debut project out in early April"
The Cover
"First of all, after the music, I'm all about visuals. So I had been mocking about with ideas for a while now. I knew I wanted elements that showed black love, transparency, intimacy and desire/fire. My visual identity is always collage/photomontage as its the best describes my music as I like to stick contrasting elements together that don't quite work at first but end up working. Anyway, in the spirit of scrapbooking, I gathered personal archive images along with images shot by Samson Yink to create this piece. This version is different from the Spotify/Apple Music as I always wanna give my BC followers something extra. "
