Fly U Out

The rollout was one line posted a day out with a plane emoji doing the rest of the work, and given who is on the track, it did not need to be more. Daye wrote for Mary J. Blige and Ella Mai before he had a solo deal, and Thomas spent a decade on credits for Ariana Grande, Drake and SZA before Mutt made him a headliner. Two writers who handed songs to other people for years are trading lead vocals here, over guitar figures that stay soft while the low end sits heavy under both of them.

This is the second data point in a Warner era still keeping its shape hidden, following the D'Mile-produced "Nowhere Fast" in June, with a fourth album slated for the fall. Anyone waiting to hear what Daye sounds like away from Keep Cool and RCA should start here.
