Canadian country powerhouse Nicole Rayy is calling on all 90’s lovers with the release of her nostalgic, feel good single “Feels Like Yesterday,” available today across streaming platforms. Opening with a retro guitar riff, Rayy’s soaring, pop-fuelled vocals reminisce on the pop culture of her childhood, with the nostalgia solidified by a sample of Third Eye Blind’s “Semi-Charmed Life” in the chorus.
““Feels Like Yesterday” is pure nostalgia for growing up in the 90’s,” Rayy shares about the track. “Whether you were born then or you were living your teenage years in the 90’s I am hoping this song will transport you back to that time in your life. My co-writers (David Madras & Matt Teed) and I really wanted to include references most of us could relate to from that era in our lives, from singing Britney Spears to memorizing your friends’ home phone numbers. So burn this one on a mix CD and crank it up on your boombox!“
Rapidly growing her name in the country industry, Nicole Rayy has amassed over a million catalogue streams to date, with her smash 2020 single Broken Boys racking in over 500K streams alone. She’s received praised from country tastemaker press such as The Boot, Complete Country, and Top Country while finding her music places across popular playlists like Spotify’s New Music Nashville and Live Country, as well as Amazon Music’s Breakthrough Country and Certified Country.
Nicole carved out her place in the industry by consistently creating initiatives to support fellow female artists including her #AllWomanMusic series, launching her all female festival Harmoniafest, and laminating it all with the release of her 2020 EP All Woman, a stunning collection of songs that traverse borders and genres. Produced by the famed Brian Howes (Mother Mother / Daughtry) – songs like “Unfinished” showcase her strength as a solo artist and her open take on country music. The release landed her a Female Artist of the Year nomination at the 2020 CMA Ontario Awards. Maintaining that momentum, Nicole is nominated two CMA Ontario Awards in 2021 – Album of the Year (All Woman) and Video of the Year (Broken Boys).
