“Need You Tonight” is a perfect collaboration between two incredibly talented singer songwriters as JP Cooper and Ray BLK both offer their inspiring soulful vocals along with their moving lyrics to tell a story that is close to JP’s heart.
Speaking more about the new release, JP says, “Need You Tonight is a song about navigating the fallout of a young relationship in a small town… it’s one of my favourite songs from the album and really sparks so many photographic memories for me. After finishing the original version, we thought it would be really interesting to hear the other side of the story so I reached out to Ray BLK to see if she’d be up for bringing her amazing pen game and vocal delivery to the song… she said yes and it turned out like this… I hope you love it as much as I do.”
Ray BLK says: “JP reached out about doing a verse on this song and as soon as I heard it, I was really moved and it brought up emotions I related to. I really wanted to write the best thing possible to add to what was already a beautiful song and so I took inspiration from my own heartbreak, and I’m really proud of what we’ve created.”
