Debo Ray‘s track “Time With You,” cooked up in part by producer Prince Charles Alexander, really hits the spot for anyone who digs a good love song wrapped in smooth Neo Soul/R&B vibes. Ray’s voice, solid and smoky, flows effortlessly over a beat that’s just the right kind of laid-back. She talks to us as if we’re old friends, sharing the routine and challenges of her day, yet constantly reaffirming her dedication to love.
She spins out lines like, “Mistakes we’ve made just a few / Our love is no longer new / Still one thing I want to do,” catching us with how transparent she keeps it. That’s her sticking to her guns, telling us love isn’t just about the butterflies and fireworks; it’s about sticking through the “missing meals…more caffeine” days. Feeling every word, you find yourself nodding along to her undeniable vibe.
The track’s beat doesn’t mess around either. It’s got that crisp, punchy rhythm that fills the room but doesn’t drown her out. The instruments layer up and fallback without getting messy, letting Debo‘s (which I’m preeeety sure is short for Deborah) voice steer the ship. Every breakdown is smooth, dropping out just right to spotlight her storytelling.
What’s dope about “Time With You” is how it mixes the everyday with the eternal—.talking about the daily hustle but also about standing by your partner in life through thick and thin. It’s a track that doesn’t just pass through your playlist; it stops you, makes you listen, and has you hitting repeat again and again and again.
