Lady Wray tells us to Come On In. Her album is available for preview streaming.

Lady Wray’s sophomore album Piece of Me is now available for preview streaming on Soundcloud and Bandcamp. The album will be available to all digital platforms on January 28, 2022. The date of the physical release for Piece of Me is January 20, 2022.

Piece of Me is Lady Wray’s comeback album that marks her maturity and growth in the music industry as a lady. You will love her soulful voice and harmony as she sings. She gets better with every single album she releases. Her voice gets deeper, darker, and smoother as the years progress forward. That is evident on songs Piece of Me, Come On In, and Storms. Songs such as Through It All and Under The Sun brighten up the album due to their upbeat nature and rhythms.

For those who don’t know, Lady Wray is Nicole Wray. The album “Piece of Me” serves as a testament to the trials and tribulations in her life both good and bad. The songs on this album represent the few milestones she has encountered in life. She has grown and matured as a person.  

Soul fans and Nicole Wray fans will not be disappointed as this album follows the same old school soul formula of Queen Alone will staying relevant with a modern audience and her contemporaries. This is perfect deep Southern soul. Big Crown Records is doing something right by bringing back soul music everyone used to listen to. They put in soulful beats and soulful voices that speak to everyone’s heart and soul.

That is no coincidence as Leon Michels produced her entire album. Leon Michels does no wrong when it comes to production, songwriting, or singing. The recording process of this album took place from 2018 to 2021. The album took as long as 3 years to records. Leon Michels of Truth & Soul fame produced a majority/bulk of the songs on this album which is why you can hear his production all over the place.


Nicole talks about being committed to a long term relationship throughout the song Come On In. She will move forward in life and progress if she has a man in her life. The beginning starts off with a couple of heavy piano notes which quickly turn into a piano solo. The percussion selection is fairly balanced with not too many drums used.

Come On In is a Lady Wray composition full of heat! Not to mention deep. The song sounds very similar to Lean On Me by Bill Withers. The instrumentation gives Come On In a throwback sound which is smoother than sandpaper. The soulful beats give this song a soulful bounce hence the soulful sound. Leon Michels produced the song Come On In. Now the song Come On In only uses three instruments and her voice.

Nicole has been waiting for a man to come into her life. She is accepting towards a man coming into her life. She is willing to be in a long term relationship. She says she’ll be waiting. Waiting to be in a long term relationship with him. She will move forward in life and progress if she has a man in her life. Nicole talks about being committed to a long term relationship.

Nicole tells her man to set the bar and his standards high. They’ve come too far by faith to give up now at this point in the relationship. Nicole Wray took it to church with these lyrics “We come too far by faith".

Lady Wray lets her man know that she is not playing games with her man’s heart and they can both overcome everything as a couple in a relationship even through storms. She asks her man to take all her love which she has given to him freely. There are so many reasons she believes in him. He is all hers.

She will be waiting patiently as he takes his own sweet time. So Lady Wray tells him take all the time he needs. Lady Wray lets her man know that she is not playing games with her man’s heart and they can both overcome everything as a couple.


Piece of Me is a sad heartbreaking love song that is filled with uncertainty and emotional attachment. The song is a perspective of her world. Throughout the song, she sings about sacrificing for her family even if they don’t always help, contribute, or give back. She broke us off a piece of her with this song soulfully speaking as this song represents the few milestones she has encountered in life. She broke herself off a piece of herself with this song.

Nicole and her man have been thru the best of times even through her darkest days. They’ve been through the best of times and the worst of times. Why must it turn around? She asks herself. Life has its uncertainties. Life is not fair. So many questions with so many answers. She’s not sure these days. He has been good to Nicole. That’s why it’s hard for her to walk away.


The queen marks her beautiful piano-laced comeback with the song Storms. Her vocals are amazing as always. Lady Wray can’t go wrong with the Big Crown sound. This song has Lady Wray tapping into her early years singing in church harmony. She goes straight to the point with Storms. Even through storms Lady Wray manages to overcome all odds. Leon Michels produced Storms using his own style of production and arrangements of course.

Lady Wray lets her man know that she is not playing games with her man’s heart and they can both overcome everything as a couple in a relationship even through storms. She asks her man to take all her love which she has given to him freely. There are so many reasons she believes in him. He is all hers. She will be waiting patiently as he takes his own sweet time. So Lady Wray tells him take all the time he needs.


Under the Sun is a beautiful feel-good song with that upbeat laid back summer vibe. Nicole just wants to have fun with her friends. The sun is shining and all the kids are running around. So pass the joint and take a hit. The wind is free under the sun. Nicole just wants to have a carefree life under the sun.

The song Through It All is about dedication through better or worse. Through It All uses more upbeat soulful bounce with the beats and vocals. Its percussion selection is fairly balanced with not too many drums used. The sound is smoother than sandpaper. A pitch-shifted soul sample seems to have been used looped throughout various parts of this song.

How building code laws effect musicians in Austin, Texas.

Due to recent noise ordinances building code laws being passed by Austin City Hall in the 2010s, it is hard for musicians and artists to perform live in downtown clubs on 6th Street. This hurts local businesses and musicians. Music cannot be played at the noise level louder than 60 dB as local noise ordinance permits. 70 dB on weekends as local noise ordinance permits. Sound ordinances are an issue that local Austin musicians face due to the high rise buildings and noise complaints from tenants living the new high rise condos. These big buildings in downtown Austin are now corporate buildings and condos. This doesn't hurt Austin somehow apparently.

The upsides of being a musician in Austin are gaining recognition, getting the exposure, and of course making money. The downsides of being a musician in Austin are dealing with noise ordinances, complaints from tenants living the new high rise condo buildings, and city council.

Hillary Clinton exposed!

Hillary Clinton is a pathological liar. She lies every time the news media reports on her. Hillary Clinton gets attention for all the wrong reasons. She does not need all this attention from the news media and politicians. The scary part about Hillary Clinton are her supporters that believe her lies. Those supporters of her are very uneducated and are indoctrinated by her liberal politics.


One example would be where Hillary Clinton disenfranchised over 1.2 million voters in the United States and had prevented them from voting by using gerrymandering tactics in her campaigns. Remember Hillary Clinton disenfranchised over 1.2 million voters by using gerrymandering tactics in her campaigns in the state of Iowa among others not to mention Indiana.

Hillary Clinton made history in Iowa in March 2016. Hillary Clinton won by 10 points in Iowa State as she did in Michigan State. She had lobbied and campaigned in order to get the vote. The mass promotion with her presidential campaigns on the addition of overall hype are what led people to vote for Hillary Clinton. Mainly her beliefs from her liberal politics led her to gain the vote. Hillary Clinton has beaten Bernie Sanders by many votes in many states.

Hillary Clinton won many votes for her presidential campaign within the state of Iowa due to her liberal politics along with support from the Democratic Party. The support Democratic Party is what led Hillary Clinton to gain more massive votes over Donald Trump. She is now in the lead against Donald Trump! She has more support over his party. However, citizens and voters have been getting educated by news media such as NBC, CBS, TYT, Sky News, and such that Hillary Clinton proves to be a dishonest pathological liar who uses votes to manipulate people. So her ratings have been going down in the Primary Election.


Another example would be her views on military spending. She is pro-war and wants to send more troops into the Middle East to fight ISIS and other known militant terrorist groups. Hillary Clinton donates to corporations that profit off of war such as Exon and Halliburton. She wants the rich and wealthy to donate to her campaigns so she can take peoples money to make herself rich. She is pro-war while most Americans are anti-war. Most Americans are tired of the US Government spending trillions of dollars towards wars. Most Americans are tired of wars period. Hillary Clinton wants the US Government to spend $4 trillion on military weapons so we can conquer ISIS. However this is not the way to do it. Again, this is Hillary Clinton shooting herself in the foot.

Hillary Clinton supporting wars overseas somehow led her to gain all the attention and media coverage from the news organizations for all the wrong reasons. We don’t need candidates like her ruining our country more than it already has been politically corrupted.


One other example is where Hillary Clinton stated that tax cuts will lead to job creations for occupations. She supports big businesses and mega-corporations. She supports these supposed tax cuts. What these tax cuts do is make the upper class rich and kill the middle class along with the low class. She is a staunch proponent of trickle down economics yet she believes in empowering people economically.


Hillary Clinton did cause oppression for anyone below the upper class. Donald Trump does not support the middle class. The only thing in economics that Donald Trump supports is tax cuts for the rich. We all know these tax cuts for the rich hurt the poor working class for which Hillary Clinton shows disregard for.

Spotify exposed!!

Spotify is an application, music streaming service, internet radio station, and a website that artists use nowadays to get their music promoted out there. All commercial and non-major independent artists alike. Spotify is a great promotion tool all across the globe.


It is reported that 5 million users of Spotify pay either $4.99 or $9.99 monthly. That is more than every one of the featured artists earns with exceptions of a select few.  A vast majority of artists only earn $0.05 cents (US dollars and Canadian dollars). While other Internet radio stations like Pandora and iTunes give artists $10,000 average (US and Canadian dollars.). But there's a catch! The money doesn't go "directly" to the artists pockets. It goes to the record labels, executive producers, CEOs, promoters, owner(s) of the sound recordings, and producers. The artists will still get paid but just not as much.

Spotify has been known to unfairly compensate artists. Some musicians and artists don't feel that they are being treated fairly by the business of Spotify. Spotify pays to the record labels instead of course obviously. Artists do not receive anything in advance, receive no minimum per stream, receive no advances, and really only get a 50% share of ad revenue promoted by Spotify in public and online. Even their website.

For example, IF Pandora pays around $100,000 over the next 10 months to stream music of Robert Plant, only $43,000 will actually go directly to Robert Plant, himself as the performing artist. Just if Brandy Norwood were to use Spotify to promote her music and to promote her family business out in California.



The CEO, Dianek Ek, of Sweden, his net worth is $307 million (US and Canadian dollars.) Sean Parker gets nearly as much paid income as the CEO. Sean Parker is a member in the board of directors at Spotify. Sean Parker has associations with Napster in some way.

Propaganda exposed by Mixerr Reviews!

Propaganda can be found in sources such as newspapers, radio, films, books, magazines, posters, billboards, and advertisements. Propaganda is inside of popular culture where people would least expect it. Ideologies philosophies, and cultures have some form of propaganda in them one way or another. Media is an art in a way for communicating ideas. Media is also where influences become propaganda. This is done with help of contributions from the news media. The news media has been a haven for all sorts of propaganda in the past 500 years since the 16th century. Propaganda has been mass produced at high amounts in the past 200 years since the 19 century. Right now in the 21st century propaganda is its highest in news media.

Controlling the press and cronyism is what the government does that eventually leads to propaganda. Ways of life clash in social warfare thus leading to propaganda. Especially during wartime. We are both consciously and subconsciously told what to think as well as what to do by propaganda from the government. Thoughts and emotions come into play in the field of propaganda as well as socioeconomic conditions and political situations. Social economic conditions and political situations play a huge factor in propaganda.
Also media is an art in a way for communicating ideas where influences become propaganda.
