First Studio Album Since 2018 Features D-Smoke Collab “The Mood” and “Gold”
Arin Ray declares the wait for his highly anticipated second album over as Hello Poison will be released on June 3 via Interscope Records. The album features both of the breakout talent’s acclaimed recent singles, the D-Smoke collaboration “The Mood,” praised by Rated R&B for its “infectious chorus” and Ray’s “honeyed vocals…over the silky production,” and “Gold,” which Billboard called “a lush, romantic ode.” Pre-save Arin Ray’s new album Hello Poison HERE.
“The Mood ” and “Gold” rollouts both included stunning music videos for the tracks, with Arin hopping in the director’s chair alongside Whipalo. In “The Mood,” Arin taps into the bedroom jam’s vibe and enjoys a night of escapades with the visual’s leading lady. The passion revs up again for the “Gold” video, in which Arin and his woman crush revel in a sun-drenched private getaway. Check out the clip for The Mood and for Gold.
Hello Poison marks Arin’s first body of work since his Phases II EP in December 2019 and first full album since his critically acclaimed major-label debut, Platinum Fire, in 2018. The projects captured his versatile vocal stylings that crisscross hip-hop, contemporary jazz or neo-soul instrumentals and have shot him to more than 175 million streams in the U.S. alone . Between projects, Arin has remained active through a spate of features, supplying material for Cordae, Kiana Lede, EARTHGANG, Terrace Martin, and most recently, Blxst on “Fake Love in LA.” Ray also returned to live performing, appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to perform “This Morning” alongside Terrace Martin and Smino. In February, he joined Martin for a slew of New York performances at the Blue Note.
