COREY NILES featuring ISH, “Get To Know You”
Late last week before I took off to NYC, I alerted you to the latest by Toronto’s own Corey Niles, and said I would follow up on official release. Well “Get To Know You” (featuring Ish) hit the streets on Monday, accompanied by the lyric video above. Knowing the blast that was Corey’s earlier single “Rollercoaster”, I certainly expected that after the gentler “Just The 2 Of Us” he might slam as hard, and “Get To Know You” does just that.
But it all really wouldn’t come together if the vocals and jam-packed production weren’t so on point! Corey’s voice gets deep down in it after both the minute and two minute marks. Singing the word “baby” a bazillion times doesn’t always work, but the urgency here makes it memorable. And as I mentioned previously, Ish’s complimentary break makes the song that much sweeter, sealing the deal just before it ends.
Corey Niles is one of a handful of singer/songwriters who lead the way with R&B in Canada. “Get To Know You” is a solid pop/hip hop song that should easily make friends at radio stations across North America. Listen for it… and get it on iTunes!
