Riding high on the back of their viral track Nervous, Denver based genre-bending group NOT A TOY continue to stride towards the release of their upcoming debut album “PRBLMS” with new single “ Say So”. A buttery R&B/pop cut showcasing gorgeous vocals decorating rolling beats, the track showcases the versatility that has seen NOT A TOY pick up a following. Speaking on the track, the state:
“Say So was such an exciting record for us to make. Jeremy actually came into the studio one day and showed us this demo he was working on. He already had laid down the initial concept that had the main vocal melody on top of the song's beautiful guitar and that unique kick pattern. It was such a tender song, but had this special hard-hitting quality about it so right away we were all freaking out after he showed us. The song came so naturally to us, it all kind of just spilled out of us on the spot.
This idea of wanting someone so bad, but you’re stuck in limbo waiting for them to finally say how they feel. The song’s title was actually “Tunnel Vision” for a long time because one of the main ideas behind the song was about loving someone so much that nothing else even matters, but eventually, we switched the title to “say so” because the song evolved into dealing with that weird phase of a relationship when you're kind of insecure because you don't know if the other person's feelings are temporary or the real deal. And being in that place where you love them so much and all you need from them is to finally open up, “Say so and I’ll drop it all and find you”, or if not, just say so and I’ll settle for loving you from a payphone.
