New York, NY (Top40 Charts) 'Memories' has solid song construction and it blends well into today's rotation of 'Top 40' pop music. 'Memories' by NATIIVE & FINLAY manages to be at once delicate and dynamic. Here's a song for summer.
The Original Mix of "
Memories" launches with FINLAY's superb vocal over impossibly pretty synthesizers that dance into one's soul. Close your eyes and get swallowed up by the patient pace of the song, a tune so firmly ensconced in pop music's palm that it's not easily forgotten. The minor keys of a Far East-inspired melody infuse an exoticism within the chorus as NATIIVE melds trap and future bass into a spritely syncopated rhythm that's positively delicious. As a producer, NATIIVE shows his relaxed hand and elegant restraint when he strips-out the instrumental and places FINLAY's vocal upfront in the mix with exquisitely simple finger-snaps in the background.

"NATIIVE (real name: Chris Wright) is an electronic dance music producer and multi-instrumentalist based out of Los Angeles, California. As an artist, Wright's musical influences are rooted in contemporary pop, indie, and electronic music. His ability to convey a wide range of emotion is evident in his original productions and his music often features singers/songwriters of varying styles. "Paige [FINLAY] and I had a lot of fun making this song together. It went through quite a few iterations but we're really happy with how it turned out. We can't wait to share it with the world," said Wright.
With a shimmering, silvery voice somewhere a cross between Taylor Swift,
Selena Gomez and Lorde, FINLAY (real name: Paige Finlay) is a singer/songwriter based in Los Angeles, California. After a life-altering - and nearly life-ending - sports-related trauma caused her to realign her priorities, FINLAY (pronounced, "fin - LEE") set out to pursue her lifelong aspiration of becoming a professional singer/songwriter and performer. That trauma was a shark attack in 2012 while Finlay was surfing in the Gulf of Mexico - a gruesome enough ordeal in its own right - followed immediately by a life-threatening case of vibrio vulnificas, commonly known as "flesh-eating bacteria." Informed by physicians that she had a 50-50% chance of survival, FINLAY emerged victorious a week later, to the utter amazement of hospital staff. "On the day I was discharged, the doctors said to me, 'This is the fastest we've ever seen a shark attack victim heal. If the infection had spread, you would've been dead within 72 hours,'" said Finlay. Such willpower and presence-of-mind are all the more inspiring given her complete lack of bitterness at the experience.
