“Baby Was A Dancer” — OUT NOW. ✨Go press play… and then come talk to me. 🎙️

HeyThereImRay… and I have an opinion 🎙️

“Baby Was A Dancer” is OUT NOW. ✨

This one is personal.

This one is growth.

This one is me stepping fully into who I am — unapologetically.

Go stream it. Sit with it. Feel it.

And then come back and tell me your opinion. 😌

Kisses 💋😘

... Read moreAs someone who deeply appreciates artists expressing authentic personal stories through music, "Baby Was A Dancer" truly stands out. When I first heard about RAYSHARD’s release, I was intrigued by the promise of a song about growth and unapologetic self-expression. The title itself evokes an image of freedom and artistry, suggesting a narrative of embracing one’s true self despite challenges. Listening closely, the track feels intimate and inviting, as if RAYSHARD is personally sharing a milestone in his life journey. It resonates especially in today’s music scene where the emphasis on vulnerability and self-acceptance continues to grow. The fact that this is an independent release makes it even more inspiring — it shows dedication and courage to put such a personal story out for the world to hear without relying on major label backing. For anyone who has ever felt the courage to step into their true identity or faced moments of self-doubt, this song offers a comforting companion. Streaming "Baby Was A Dancer" is more than just enjoying new music; it’s about connecting with themes that are deeply human—growth, courage, and unapologetic authenticity. The encouragement by RAYSHARD to “sit with it, feel it” invites listeners to not just hear, but to emotionally engage with the music, making it an experience that stays with you long after the song ends. If you’re looking for music that inspires reflection and celebrates the journey of becoming your true self, this track is worth a listen. I also appreciate the use of hashtags such as #BlackCreatives and #MusicWithMeaning, highlighting the artist’s role within a thriving community of independent musicians creating impactful art. Overall, this personal sharing from RAYSHARD is a meaningful addition to the contemporary music landscape, reminding us all to embrace who we are unapologetically and find strength in growth.

Three reasons why it hurts when you apply your press-ons: 1️⃣The size you pick is too small; 2️⃣The glue attached the tip of your skin to your press-ons. Your skin is dragging the nail down. 3️⃣Change your nails brand! I recommend Celebritips, we are a business that vows to make salon-grade good
