Yaw Ray, the Ghanaian artist known for his soulful melodies and heartfelt lyrics, is excited to announce the release of his latest single, “Away.”
Inspiration Behind “Away”
The song touches on the theme of loyalty and the rare quality of finding someone who stands by you through thick and thin. It serves as a cautionary tale for those who take such people for granted. In today’s world, where it’s increasingly difficult to find genuine connections, the song emphasizes the importance of valuing the people who have been there for you. Yaw Ray urges listeners to cherish loyalty and, if mistakes have been made, to make amends before it’s too late. As Yaw Ray explains, “In this era, where finding someone with genuine intentions is rare, you don’t want to ruin a relationship with someone who has been there for you. If you mess up, this song is your reminder to go back, apologize, and try to make things right.”
Album Cover Art: A Symbolic Reflection
The cover art for “Away” features a beautiful, delicate rose—a symbol of love, forgiveness, and new beginnings. The imagery of falling leaves surrounding the rose represents both the passage of time and the fragility of relationships. It serves as a visual metaphor for the theme of the song: if you don’t nurture the bond you have, it may wither like leaves in autumn. Yet, with the right effort and care, it can bloom anew, just like the rose in the artwork.
Release Details
“Away” is now available for streaming and download on all major platforms.
