Ahead of his upcoming Ty Dolla $ign assisted single “OT,” Bronx R&B sensation Capella Grey has tapped singer/songwriter Chlöe Bailey for the official “Shemix” to his super-smash single “Gyalis.”
Originally released as an impromptu live performance via Chlöe’s Instagram, the video quickly garnered over three million views and became an viral hit with celebrities such as Tracee Ellis Ross, SZA, Fivio Foreign, and more all demanding an official version be released.
The rich melodies and playful energy of “Gyalis” have made the song synonymous with the summer, and this new version only magnifies these feelings. “Gyalis” explores Capella’s player side and Chlöe matches that energy, offering her own risqué bars over the instrumental that samples Juvenile’s iconic “Back That Azz Up.”
Back in March, Grey followed “Gyalis” with a captivating new single, “Confujawn.” The intoxicating R&B anthem featured breakout artist Nija, who showcases her trademark sultry vocals.
Grey shows a more introspective, vulnerable side on “Confujawn.” The rich melodies and sensual vocals of “Confujawn” prove Grey has songs for everyone. If “Gyalis” was a take-no-prisoners club anthem, “Confujawn” finds the rising star showing a mature approach to a rocky relationship. “Like what we doing, no more games,” Grey croons over a plucky guitar line and boom-bap drums. “We’re getting older, I told you no more looking over my shoulder.”
The track’s video opens with a frank conversation between Grey and Nija about the way they relate to one another. They eventually decide to make the most of a long night out in Los Angeles, which is captured in moody, stylish lighting while they trade verses.
Grey has created a fresh, yet nostalgic R&B sound that invites listeners across generations. With the runaway success surrounding “Gyalis”—over 300 million combined streams, No.1 at Urban Radio, No.38 on the Billboard Hot 100—it would be an obvious move to double down on that formula. However, Grey isn’t your typical artist. With “Confujawn,” has created a song as instantly catchy as “Gyalis,” but from a completely different angle.
