TALAY RILEY – MAKE YOU MINE

SINGLE OUT 29TH AUGUST

Urban pop artist Talay Riley returns with a follow-up to his 1Xtra favourites ‘Sergeant Smash’ and ’Good as Gold’ with new single ‘Make You Mine’ on 29th August.
Currently just 20 years old, Talay has already established himself as a household name in the UK urban music scene. Having had his first UK #1 single with Chipmunk’s ‘Oopsy Daisy’, which he wrote, he followed on from this with two solo singles of his own (‘Humanoid’ and ‘Sergeant Smash’), a joint single with grime pioneer Scorcher ‘Good As Gold’ and numerous song writing ventures for chart toppers such as; JLS, Jessie J, The Wanted and Tinie Tempah.
Now, Talay is ready to take the charts by storm with his latest unique urban-pop effort. ‘Make You Mine’ offers up somber melodies infused with catchy vocal hooks and a head bopping beat mixed with touching vocals that expose Talay’s more emotional side. It is the perfect chilled summer anthem. Remixes come courtesy of Heaven, Ace Jupiter, Heist and Asterix.
Having already toured with N-Dubz earlier this year and Usher, Jessie J and Mike Posner more recently, Talay has already started building a live following for his own headline shows.
His debut album will be released in 2011 and he is currently working in the studio in the UK and LA with a host of producers including Inflo 1st (One Republic), Harmony aka H-Money (a member of Darkchild Productions in LA responsible for Lady Gaga’s ‘Telephone’ amongst others) and Rodney Jerkins.
