The song was released via RDK Records and available on all major digital platforms. It heralds Re.decay’s debut album Way Out East, due in January of 2022.

Directed by Richard Quagraine Amoah and filmed across stunning West African backdrops, the video follows Kirani Ayat as he wanders across his homeland of Ghana, delivering a message of reassurance to anyone determined to be different and innovative .

“Over here it often feels like you’re either mainstream or underground. My sound is niche, I put in a lot of effort just to stand out,” Kirani Ayat said. “This track is me reminding myself that I shouldn’t care much for what’s mainstream or for what’s trendy and I should just keep doing me, I just have to stay true to myself.”

“We were amazed with the vocals that Ayat sent us,” Re.decay added. “His delivery is so soulful and he strikes the perfect balance between looseness and precision.”

Re.decay, who describe their sound as a “playful blend of eastern and western rhythms”, Way Out East will feature 15 artists from 8 different countries and 3 continents. The LP will also marry afro-infused grooves, raw hip-hop, soulful house, and smooth R&B.

In Ghana, Kirani Ayat is best known for songs like ‘IDKY’ and ‘Guda’, which won the Overall Best Video Award at the 2019 MTN 4syte TV Music Awards. His collections include the Zamani and Her Vibe Is Right EPs.
