London, UKToryia gently reminds us that she doesn't need nothing but the truth on her latest release, No Favors.
Releasing tones as light as air, Toryia harmonises over slow strummed guitar strings, attention grabbing drums and a textured beat created by UK producer, Jsuis Roman. It's a co-write by Toryia and Syon that narrates a story that many individuals have endured. The two express the duality within love itself on No Favors, highlighting the standard concept of when love is good it's great, but on the flip side? It can become sour, toxic, soul diminishing, empty if you don't get a grip on yourself. Thankfully in this narrative, love is found within thyself. "I wanted to express how I felt in a situation from my own experience. I wanted to be able to support others in the same situation. We as humans tend to loose ourselves when in toxic, love - life situations and in times like these we are in dire need of uplifting. I wanted to say something that I needed to hear during this time" - Toryia. No Favors dwells within relatability, and its aural delivery instantly claims the status of a hit. Toryia and Jsuis Roman covered heartbreak and healing with their musical combo. Toryia has a garden full of seeds ready to sprout with an EP on the way along with multiple live performances.

On the flip side, Station Hayds rushes in verse after verse spilling lyrical eminence. He's like a raging bull without the excessive shxt, aiming straight for the head and leaving listeners in a satisfying Hip Hop coma. It's devilish, blazing with heat, sonically delectable. "DEVIL'S WATCHIN'was written during the peak of COVID in 2021, hence all the Corona bars. I was in a massive creative block and Emjay started sending beats through after we connected. The production on this song sounded futuristic yet aggressive. It gave me space to get all my frustration out about working during quarantine, watching the music scene from the sidelines and the mindset every artist has / should have of being the best. I’ve definitely found my flow and perfected my personal style subsequent to this, but it indicates the start of a new wave of artistry. Shoutout to emjaysoul - Station Hayds. If the DEVIL IS WATCHIN', these two most definitely clocked it. emjay and Hayds remind us that musical chemistry is essential, while showcasing the essence of Aussie creatives.
