Debut of the Month: 2Say’s Melodic House Hit, ‘Play For Keeps’

In 2014, a Bay Area college kid named Alvin fell in love with dance music. Over the next 9 years, he threw himself into music production, music theory, and the dance music culture; investing countless sleep-deprived nights while navigating the delicate balance of self-critique and the endless chase for perfection.

Alvin has always had difficulty expressing himself through ordinary words. However, under his artist name 2Say, a playful twist on “who am I to say,” he is able to craft a unique blend of lyrics and melodies, providing him a creative outlet for his feelings. For 2Say, music is more than a craft; it also acts as a time machine and a communal medium for self-expression.

On January 23, 2024, 2Say achieved a significant personal milestone: publicly releasing his first song that shows maturity and pumps bliss, ‘Play For Keeps’.

2Say ‘Play For Keeps’

“This is the first song of many on my hard drive that I’ve released. I started making the instrumental in April 2023 and after creating it and sitting on it for months, I finally had the courage to release it to the world. And with the high amount of support received from friends, playlisters, and blogs, I’m more confident and eager to release more in due time.

‘Play For Keeps’ is about a troubled relationship, where both partners question their future together. But it only takes one defining action to reassure that the relationship is worth fighting for.”

2Say eagerly anticipates sharing more of his musical creations with the world, hoping that his feelings transformed into sound will leave a mark on his listeners.
