"I'm turning all the pain into music," Raury tweeted as he shared his new single "Like A Star" this afternoon.
Taking on a decidedly solemn tone in comparison to the youthful wonder that we're used to hearing from the Atlanta artist, the Donnie Trumpet-produced song flips a mournful Corinne Bailey sample as it considers a relationship that's hit a fork in the road.
"When we created this song I was a mess of a person emotionally," Raury reveals, hinting that the song's lyrics are as personal and autobiographical as they seem. Listen below.
