Grammy-nominated hip-hop, rap, and R&B superstar Shawn Cook reveals the story of his toxic relationship in his latest single, “Stay.” The song was released on August 6 under Queens Gambit LLC and featured a black-and-white music video. It is the first official single off Cook’s upcoming EP, “Claudette,” produced by Tyler Rohn, Bizness Boi, and Boylord.
In this track, Cook’s voice sweeps across the top in an emotional yet confident manner, reaching poetic crescendos and whispering conspiratorially in the listener’s ear. The bass beat pulses like depth charges, and skittering trap percussion pushes the momentum.
The music video for “Stay” gives viewers a glimpse into the artist’s understanding of the conflict between lust and grief. As the tape reverses, just as he makes an effort to break free from the loop, he is pulled back and condemned to keep making the same mistakes. The insightful and compelling ballad “Stay” showcases Shawn Cooks’ amazing talent for captivating listeners.
“STAY” is unquestionably a solid introduction to Shawn’s artistic philosophy and is excellent in terms of both musical execution and production. Arguably, the artist put a lot of effort into making this one a home run, and the outcomes speak for themselves. Currently, it is viewed nearly 200k times on YouTube putting an extra charm to the colorful discography of Shawn Cook.
