SLUGGER Teams Up With MC Ray Wimley On 'Take A Breath'

‘Take A Breath’, features emcee Ray Wimley and vocalist Mykia Jovan, is an exploration of what it means to be an artist and human being in the modern world, set against a backdrop of lush backbeat grooves.

Wimley seems to find a moment of clarity amidst a stream of consciousness. On the chorus, Jovan reminds us “when pressures rise, take time to recognise, you only need to exhale.”

Slugger has quickly become one of New Orleans most exciting new bands, drawing praise from both fellow musicians and the avid listeners who frequent the city’s vibrant live music scene. Combining elements of fusion, funk and gospel music, Slugger represents the confluence of styles that makes New Orleans a unique musical and cultural hub. As the group finds themselves on a trajectory few anticipated, one thing is certain- Houston and his collaborators have found their inspiration.
