Over the weekend, Arin Ray shared his brand new Hello Poison album, a 15-track body of work that boasts a plethora of assists from R&B’s finest contributors like Ari Lennox, VanJess, Blxst, Ty Dolla $ign, Rose Gold, Terrace Martin, and more. Preceding the release, Ray warmed fans up with a few singles. The first one was April’s “The Mood” featuring D Smoke and then “Gold” closely followed up. The latter track arrived with a stunning visual — co-directed by Arin Ray himself — that sees him comparing his lover to a rare element:

Shut the door to the spaceship, operation get back to the basics God damn/ She don’t know what she means to me ,God damn, she don’t what it seems to be/ Yeah, this done got a little crazy Life is looking like a classic Issa Rae scene God damn/ I don’t know what this means for me but I can say what it seems to be

Oh yeah, has it returned at last my light my fire, lets enjoy ourselves, inspired/ Gave me something I had to earn Gotta save that, save that/ Gold, Gold, Gold, Gold, Gold, ah, gotta save that, save that/ Gold, Gold, Gold, Gold, Gold, gotta save that

It’s been four years since Arin Ray blessed us with his well-received effort Platinum Fire, which — including its deluxe upgrade — saw 17 tracks and additional features from Ty Dolla $ign, YG, DRAM, Childish Major, SiR, Terrace Martin, and Babyface. Platinum Fire is home to his breakout hits “We Ain’t Homies” and “Communication.” Since then, he’s released a well-received EP titled Phases II and collaborated with the likes of Juice WRLD, Nechie, Cordae, Rockie Fresh, and 21 Savage.
