Ghanaian singer and songwriter Yaw Ray returns with a new double single, “Scream & This Side”. The release brings together two sides of his journey: one that celebrates love and connection, and one that reflects growth, patience, and staying true to the path ahead.
The Story Behind “Scream”
“Scream” is for anyone who believes in love, and for those who need a reminder that it has power. It speaks to the joy, vulnerability, and beauty found in opening your heart. Yaw Ray explains, “Scream is about seeing love not as a story, but as something you live. It’s for the moments that make your heart feel full and for the people who remind us why love matters.”
The Story Behind “This Side”
“This Side” reflects where I am right now, the experiences I’ve had, and the person I’m becoming. It’s a song about patience, keeping faith in the process, and trusting that the work and the struggles lead to brighter days. “It’s about staying on the journey and knowing that soon, we’ll all find ourselves on a better side,” explains Yaw Ray.
Yaw Ray shares, “These two songs come from where I am right now. One is about love and how beautiful it can be. The other is about staying focused, believing in the plan, and knowing that sooner or later, we will all find ourselves on a better side.”
Album Cover Art: Standing in the Light
The cover art shows a human silhouette behind a lamp, a symbol of light shining through darkness. It reflects resilience, the choice to shine even when life dims the surroundings, and the determination to keep moving forward.
This imagery mirrors both songs, reminding listeners that love, hope, and belief will guide them even through difficult times.
