Arin Ray surprised fans on Dec. 13 with an early Christmas present, his new EP, Phases II. The Cincinnati, Ohio singer/songwriter's new offering is a collection of his recent singles and more, including “Change” with GRAMMY-nominated superstar Kehlani.
Ray dropped the infectious "Change" earlier this year, and it appears here in the soulful, five-song EP set that also features his recent singles “A Seat” and “The Get Down."
Phases II arrives as the follow-up to Ray's 2018 major label debut, Platinum Fire, which featured guest appearences from the likes of YG, Ty Dolla $ign, DRAM, SIR and Babyface. The rising R&B star will come bearing more gifts early next year, according to a statement, as he plans to unveil a music video for his new single, “The Get Down,” which he co-produced with The Rascals and Sir Dylan.
