As one of the more dynamic vocalists of the early \u201890s, NYC native Ray West\u2019s defiant screams and guttural wails defined a generation of street metal-loving headbangers. With Spread Eagle, West aided in the creation of iconic anthems such as the tormented \u201cSwitchblade Serenade\u201d and \u201cDevil\u2019s Road.\u201d Like many of his era, West rode out a turbulent period, coming out on the other side wiser and more confident than ever. He had renewed vigor and enhanced melodicism. West sought to create his most personal music yet with his longtime friend and partner in musical crime bassist, songwriter, producer, and esteemed session musician Miguel Gonzalez. Both grew up in the Miami rock n roll scene and have deep roots to the area\u2019s culture and vibe, which they are excited to infuse into this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The result of the collaboration is SupaFly\u2019s The Vibe, which features revisited and remastered versions of tracks previously recorded, as well as new compositions. Brimming with heavy urban-power grooves, SupaFly represents an evolution for West and is perhaps his most personal songwriting to date. Landing ahead of the album release is a knock-down drag-out version of the KC and the Sunshine Band classic \u201cI\u2019m Your Boogie Man\u201d with a SupaFly twist just in time for Halloween. So why this track? West explains, \u201cMig and I have always loved the idea of taking a song like \u2018Boogie Man\u2019 and putting it through the SupaFly machine. We are paying tribute to a time when music was all about the groove and having a good time, all the time, while putting a modern-day twist on it with Mig\u2019s production ideas. The vibe is on point, and the vocal performance gives a dark edge that makes me feel like the boogie man is gonna come through the walls and dance. I played this song on my friend\u2019s system, and the drop almost took out his woofers!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
