Thrive 02:49
Made me believe I was unworthy And selfish with my time So you messed around with another girl Just to see tears in my eyes But no longer will I take it I see through your dirty deeds I'm gonna keep my fire burnin' I got lots of flames to feed I'll get by I'll be fine Gonna thrive out on my own Said, I'll get by I'll be fine Watch me thrive out on my own Thought you'd make me jealous? Thought you'd hurt my pride? Wanted to see me runnin' to your arms Beggin' for one more try Well I guess you don't know me well, babe Makes me wonder if you even tried I stay high, when you go low You won't hurt me anymore I'll get by I'll be fine Gonna thrive out on my own I'll get by I'll be fine Gonna thrive out on my own I'll get by I'll be fine Gonna thrive out on my own

Playground 02:38
My heart is just your playground You're giving me the run- around You think love is a game, boy I won't be nobody's play toy It's all take and no give That's no way for a woman to live Oh, I'm fallin', trippin' While you just skip along You're swingin' on my heart strings Through highs and lows you're laughin' If I knew better I would run away But you always know just what to say Your words come to me Like the sweetest summer breeze Oh, I'm fallin', trippin' While you just skip along I want you to know Just what's been on my mind You consume my thoughts But you won't say that you're mine Oh, I get so high On your sweet lovin' supply You know I can't lie Boy, you're bleeding me dry And I need my fix Only you can scratch that itch Oh, I'm fallin', trippin' While you just skip along Cuz my heart is just your playground My heart is just your playground My heart is just your playground

A soulful soundtrack of heartbreak and love, Davis step into her own as an artist and performer, featuring her signature powerhouse vocals accompanied by airtight grooves. The collection of analog recorded songs bring ‘60s and ‘70s soul influences like Aretha Franklin and Al Green into the present; following in the musical footsteps of retro revivalists like Amy Winehouse.

Davis developed her love for soul and R&B early, learning to sing lead and background vocals in her high school’s 12-piece Motown R&B band in her hometown, Victoria, British Columbia. Moving to Toronto in 2008, Davis joined the renowned African roots choir “The Nathaniel Dett Chorale”, and went on to pursue a Bachelor of Music Degree from Humber College. Carving out her reputation as a powerhouse frontwoman and background vocalist in the Toronto music scene, Davis joined seven-piece retro funk ensemble YUKA as their lead singer on full-length album releases From the Ancients (2015) and Dreamscape (2019) to critical acclaim. Davis also established herself as a go-to background vocalist for all things soul, performing with legends Martha Reeves (of Martha & the Vandellas), Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, and Jully Black, top Toronto breakout artists Charlotte Day Wilson, Jessie Reyez, and Daniel Caesar. Stepping out on her own as a solo artist, Davis teamed up with producer and YUKA bandmate Scott McCannelll to write and record her debut EP Thrive.
