Automatic
“Originals cost more than imitations”
To be a musician in this era of saturated music is a bold move. There are so many different levels of complexity that an artist’s path is like. Working through the burden of having a vision that needs to be actualized, a thought that needs to be expressed through careful consideration of music and words and presentation, a path of explaining it to the world and demonstrating why it is worth the attention of an audience. These are things that the artist goes through to create art, for consumers, for you. These artists do it for themselves but they also do it for their fans, their friends, their audience. The life of exhibition and to allow others to be voyeurs of that journey is quite the statement.
Automatic Ray is one of those visionaries. An artist that sees a project in his mind before he puts the words down on paper and before he selects the perfect musical accompaniment, and before he works to create the art for the cover of his project, he sees it, entire and actualized. The success of an artist is subjective and can be different for many. However, a perfect recreation of what was running through the mind if always a means of celebration. A perfectly executed piece of art is a treasure in and of itself.
His latest track is titled “Mia X”. The decadent and diamond laden cover art is synonymous with the whole mood Automatic Ray gives off. His persona is cool, confident and expressive. His music is no different, a man with the ability to sing, not just rhyme but full on sing and do it well, and he creates the rhythm and harmonies for his own track while showing the complexity and skill of his wordplay on the same beat. You can even find the dude making his own high quality beats. This particular track was produced by Ricci.
