If not a genuine oddball, Saya Gray is at least a very entertaining self-stylist. A self-proclaimed “vagabond”, she has talked about having ESP and perfect pitch from birth. The Toronto producer and vocalist’s debut album proper can’t possibly live up to all this bluster but it is a thoroughly enjoyable ride: a set of elastic, translucent songs that draw equally from quirked-up TikTok music – think Kate Nash-style vocals, dreamy Frank Ocean production – as they do yacht rock, country and AOR.
