R&B singer/songwriter Brent Faiyaz follows up his duet, โMoment of Your Lifeโ with โWY@,โ an single that shines more after a couple listens.
โIbe doing shit I really shouldnโt do for real / Thatโs why I always tell you come through for real,โ ๐ Brent Faiyaz (Christopher Brent Wood) asserts in the chorus of single, ๐ต โWY@โ. โWY@โ follows a terrific single by Faiyaz, ๐ต โMoment of Your Lifeโ, where he duetted with the lovely, talented, ๐ Coco Jones. Solo this round, on this three-and-a-half minute number, Brent has plenty of assistance, writing alongside producers ๐ผ โ ๐ Dpat (David Patino), Otxhello (Othello Houston), Berg (Bailey Goldberg), Anthoine Walters, and Johnathan โFreezeโ Wells.ย All in all, the results are positive.
โWY@โ sports a moody backdrop from the onset that is a bit unsettled, initially. Faiyaz begins singing the chorus, which makes more musical sense later in the track.ย Following the opening chorus there is a spoken word interlude, performed in Spanish.ย This interlude is sensual, even if you donโt understand the language, though a bit unexpected. Early on, โWY@โ is a bit odd to be honest, but it gains stability beginning with the first verse sung by Faiyaz:
โEven I know you ainโt no good for me
But you feel so good to me
Every time I come back, I try to leave
So how you end up back with me?โ
Following the verse, the chorus โlandsโ more, particularly accentuated by soulful backing vocals. By the arrival of the second verse, things click more (โYouโre the death of me and the remedy / I be doing too muchโ). After a bit of an off-putting start, the virtues of ๐ต โWY@โ reveal themselves. Where Faiyazโs previous single, ๐ต โMoment of Your Lifeโ shined from an initial listen, โWY@โ requires an additional listen to wrap your head around itโฆ Itโs definitely stronger the second time you hear it.
