about
German-Filipino singer Ray Lozano teams up with UK alt R&B hotshot KeepVibesNear for remix single ‘Amsterdam Nights’, co-produced by Samon Kawamura (Max Herre, Joy Denalane).
Ray's debut album Pairing Mode (03.03.) became a landmark for German-Asian (Pop) Culture and has been reviewed by Spiegel Online, BBC 6, WDR Cosmo and 1Live, just to name a few.
Pairing Mode is composed of 12 musical short stories, in each of them Ray moves through a perspective on solitude. From longing for love to feeling contempt with yourself, disoriented, and then empowered again. Ray’s honest lyrics paired with her vulnerable, yet sophisticated and bold voice guide us through an emotional dreamy space found somewhere between heartbreak and hope. “Pairing Mode is like a collection of polaroid pictures. Or like a menu, composed of several delicate dishes” she explains, emphasizing that it is to be enjoyed with all our senses. Every track is “a moment that has been captured and is complete as it is.”
