Serayah doesnโt sleep. Thatโs what Iโve determined. And if we keep getting bangers like the sinewy, seductive “So Good,” then so be it.
The burgeoning r&b hitmaker is back with more heat on the heels of her last EP, Addicted, which has mysteriously and cruelly vanished from streaming services. Never fear, sheโs working on a brand new, fully-realized project, and with her non stop work ethic and top notch songwriting chops, weโll be bumping it in no time.
We sat down to talk about the single and staying true to the woman in the mirror.
The Knockturnal: How did “So Good” come about?
Serayah: I was basically vibing in the studio and I was doing melodies, then the tag so good just came to me. I thought, oh my god, this is what this record feels like. I kind of wanted “So Good” to be for whatever anyone wants it to be for themselves.
The Knockturnal: And you just dropped a new project. I loveย “Take Me.” Itโs my favorite song. I was like, I relate to this. Can you tell me a little bit more about it?
Serayah: “Take Me” is ME. Itโs anyone thatโs busy who canโt be around the person they like or love. That record was just what you would want if you could see the person. I think thatโs why a lot people like it. Youโre running and doing your own thing, you donโt always get the leisure to be around someone you love every day. That’s what that record was for, for me.
The Knockturnal: Is โSo Goodโ gonna go on a brand new project?
Serayah: Yes!
The Knockturnal: Whoaaa.
Serayah: I know right? [laughs] Those songs I released on my last project, I was working on the last two years. That was something where I was finally able to get those out, while also working on an actual project.
The Knockturnal: When youโre writing is it autobiographical?
Serayah: For me, yeah. Everything is personalized. If itโs not me, then I wonโt use it. If I can just relate to it, then Iโll feel the record. I love co-writing. If I donโt feel it, Iโm okay with saying โEhhh. Letโs go somewhere else.โ
