He and his Grammy-winning partner in crime, Leon Thomas, are willing to “Fly U Out.” The duo makes sweet music on this single, which they composed with Bizzy Crook, Dylan Sinclair, Jordon Manswell, and Mike Hunnid. Bizness Boi, KVRIM, Blake Straus, Kofo, Derelle Rideout, and Mike Hunnid produced it.

“Fly U Out” features gorgeous production, specifically the guitar and keyboard. Lucky Daye delivers a smooth, strong, and soulful vocal performance. Great supporting vocals accompany him, further enhancing the song. The chorus, in all of its memorable goodness, is the first section heard:

“I, I, I know when I chose this that we have these moments (yeah)

I, I, I know when I need it, I need you to feel this

So, I’ll fly you out, I’ll fly you out to me…”

Beyond the chorus, Daye performs the first verse. Drum programming, composed of bass-heavy kicks, snaps, cymbals, hi-hats, etc., is a welcome addition. Matters of the heart and the body are firmly planted on Daye’s and his long-distance partner’s mind: “I know your body been feigning / These signals you been sending my way.” In the pre-chorus that follows, the texts aren’t sufficient! He needs her with him! Leon Thomas performs the second verse, with some eyebrow-raising lyrics:  “You goin’ missing like a waistline / Showing kitty off, on a FaceTime…” Wow! Thomas’s lines are more rhythmic than Daye’s. They collaborate on the second pre-chorus, with Daye closing things out. All in all, Lucky Daye, assisted by Leon Thomas, dropped a fabulous R&B song with “Fly U Out.” Some may say R&B is dead or on its last leg, but talented musicians like these two Grammy winners, and memorable, well-rounded songs like this one, prove otherwise.
