Arin Ray and Kehlani provide a perfect duet that pulls at the heartstrings with “Change,” reminding us that the future of R&B is in great hands.
The track may have been released last week but there’s something about Ray’s smooth vocals that keep the track on repeat. With Kehalani as a co-captain on the rollercoaster of love, the writer, producer, and classically trained vocalist invites his fans into his gentle but twisted love story. You’ve got me all in my feelings/ Girl, I know, girl, you’re tired from/ running through my mind (Ayy)/You stole my heart in a minute,” he sings.
Ray, who is a huge fan of Kehlani, allows her to reclaim her soulful throne on his offering. “I’ve known Kehlani for some years now, Ray explained to VIBE. “I’ve always admired her as an artist and even more as a friend. I feel like we’ve got one with this record for sure.”
The Bay Area native weighed in on her social media mentioning that this was her “favorite collaboration” that she has done in a long time. “I f*ckin love this song, glad we finally did this. Real friends, real love.”
He posted on his Instagram on Monday (Aug. 12) teasing the release.
In December of 2018, he released a 17-track project Platinum Fire [Deluxe] with stand out songs “Roses,” “Reckless” and
Lonely” with VIBE NEXT album Jessie Reyez.
