Premiere: RayvonOwen is back with a new single, Honesty
, Owen came out to the world, sharing his true sexual identity with his fans for the first time. He then released a smattering of singles and remixes, including 2018’s upbeat pop bop “Gold.", Owen is showing a previously unseen side to his artistic self. Dark and brooding with a thrumming synth line, the R&B-inflected track utilizes Owen’s silky smooth vocals, morphing the song into an all-out lover’s lament. The lover is a guy who Owen is, obviously, quite smitten with.
“Honesty” is the core song of my new EP. It reflects dichotomy -- honesty versus dishonesty, the yin and yang. I wrote it in Tokyo, Japan, and I was initially writing about a past romantic situation, if you will. Not really an ex, it wasn't that official. But I realized after a while, it seemed like I was reflecting my own insecurities in the song, like I was writing about myself. So"Honesty" brings everything together.
Your last single, “Gold,” was a much more upbeat, traditional pop song. “Honesty” has a more soulful, deep vibe. Is this change conscious? Will this be the kind of sound we should expect fromThe truth is, I love pop music, but my sound has evolved. I've got tons of R&B and hip-hop influences to tap into, which is what was in me anyway. I grew up singing gospel and soul, so it's in the roots of who I am as a singer. I still love the pop sensibility. And I love combining the two.
Aesthetically, your visuals have gone through changes in these past two years as well, as if your inner queer art angel is tearing its way to the surface. In these uncertain times, how can other queer people champion themselves like you are now? We all grow and change over time. I think that's inevitable and I think embracing that is important, and has been extremely important for me. I'm excited to continue to freely express myself, because the more I embrace and learn about myself, the more confident I feel. And hopefully, that inspires other people to do the same thing, express themselves however they want to, regardless of where they’re from or what other people think about them.in 2016.
