Piece of Me/Come On In is a Lady Wray 7” vinyl single (45” vinyl single to be exact) and digital single that was released by Big Crown Records in 2019. For those who don’t know, Lady Wray is Nicole Wray. Both songs are definitely on fire! You will love her soulful voice and harmony as Piece of Me/Come On In follows the same old school soul formula of Queen Alone. (Hence the soulful sound.) Both of these songs on this single represent the few milestones she has encountered in life.
Nicole wrote Piece Of Me with songwriter Leon Michels before she gave birth to her daughter Melody. The song was written in 2018. This was before she became a mother. Her alto voice gives off a jazzy vibe.
Piece of Me is a sad heartbreaking love song that is filled with uncertainty and emotional attachment. Nicole and her man have been thru the best of times even through her darkest days. They’ve been through the best of times and the worst of times. Why must it turn around? She asks herself. Life has its uncertainties. Life is not fair. So many questions with so many answers. She’s not sure these days. He has been good to Nicole. That’s why it’s hard for her to walk away.
The song is a perspective of her world. Throughout the song, she sings about sacrificing for her family even if they don’t always help, contribute, or give back.
Come On In is a Nicole Wray composition full of heat! Not to mention deep. The song sounds very similar to Lean On Me by Bill Withers. Leon Michels produced the song Come On In. The instrumentation gives Come On In a throwback sound which is smoother than sandpaper.
The beginning of Come On In starts off with a couple of heavy piano notes which quickly turn into a piano solo. Its percussion selection is fairly balanced with not too many drums used.
Nicole has been waiting for a man to come into her life. She is accepting towards a man coming into her life. She is willing to be in a long term relationship. She says she’ll be waiting. Throughout the song is where Nicole talks about being committed to a long term relationship. She will move forward in life and progress if she has a man in her life.
I rate this single, Piece Of Me/Come On In, 5/5*****!!
