I WAS IN NEW YORK & A PRAYER FOR MAYA ANGELOU :TASTER EDIT by P A Y F O N E published on 2019-02-14T21:17:35Z Payfone bring a double header of NYC styled heat for the inaugural release on their newly launched Otis Recordings. Marrying modern boogie and classic R&B, with cosmic leanings and Balearic touches, Payfone manage to keep all theessence of the early days whilst bringing a contemporary swagger to the floor. Each element in ‘I Was In New York’ gets the space it deserves. Palm muted guitars and sashaying synth echoesflutter over the top of a strutting slap bass courtesy of Giulio Granchelli. A simplicity that sings – simultaneously giving your mind the space it needs to drift off into a daydream of sunsets over cityscapes. Introspective, meditative and innocent, Dayna Talley’s spoken word vocals lull listeners into memories of tranquil times. Set to be one of 2019’s standout songs, its refreshingly original and sure to cut through the noise. The B side, ‘A Prayer For Maya Angelou’ takes a Balearic boat out across calming seas. Gravitating around ametallic, pulsating synth, modulated tobounce at points and brood at others,mystic flurries drift in the distance, as pads wash across the horizon. Len Xiang’s melancholic tale reverberates throughout, with those sweet sax sounds from Billy Brooks Paul and a spring reverbed guitar riffing off into the ocean - elevating this into pure paradise.
