mason: SAYA by Saya Gray

I was introduced to Saya Gray with the QWERTY record in 2023 and was immediately onboard with the experimental genre-blurring vibes. I was looking forward to this record from the first single I heard (SHELL) and was interested to see if the full record would follow more traditional song structures like that tune. I think Saya nailed it with this record. There's enough experimentation with both melody, arrangement, production, etc, but I do feel like it's more accessible for a wider audience. My favorite record of the (still young) year so far.
