Kay Cola Releases New Album ‘Lucid Dreams’ + ‘Good’ Visual
Grammy nominated singer, rapper, songwriter Kay Cola, has released her fifth studio album “Lucid Dreams” and the “Good” visual on her birthday, today May 7th via Lucid Dreams Music Group LLC/Empire.
Kay Cola has collaborated with Eminen, Charlie Wilson and Jhene Aiko.
For “Lucid Dreams“, Kay also gets her grown and sexy on in the music video for the single “Good,” an ultra funky electronic mood produced by D Tonez. In observing California’s COVID-19 Stay-at-Home order, Kay shot the video in her home. “We used a very small production crew of two people,” she says. “They wore masks and we practiced social distancing.”
“Good” is one of the 10 songs on “Lucid Dreams” that Kay wrote or co-wrote. The set features self-production (“Hopes N Dreams,” “Interstellar”) as well as contributions from Trackademicks, THX, D Tonez, J White, DJ Dahi and Avenue Dave. It also includes a special guest appearance from Kay Cola‘s father, legendary, Grammy nominated jazz flautist Hubert Laws, who has been sampled by, and produced with or for J Cole, Jay, LL Cool J and Mary J. Blige. Laws appears on one of the standout tracks, “DreamGirl,” a hypnotic, soulful, 1970s-styled ballad with congas and electric bass.
Kay‘s singing and songwriting talents helped her find her own success in music. She worked with the likes of Dr. Dre on his unreleased album “Detox,” Eminem on his Best Rap Song Performance Grammy winning “Not Afraid” and Charlie Wilson on “Musta Heard.”
She toured with Eric Benet and Eric Bellinger and released several albums independently. She later launched the successful OrganiGrowHairCo and OrganiGlowSkinCo natural hair care and skin product lines.
The “Lucid Dreams” album title explains Kay‘s outlook on life. “Lucid dreaming means that you’re awake during the dream and you’re aware and so therefore you can manipulate the dream and change it if you want to. That’s kinda like my philosophy for life,” she says.
