All Eyes Are On Slater Davis
He's ready for 2021
Boyd: What song should someone start with to get to know you and your music?
Davis: That’s tough! As far as what I’ve released so far—it’s definitely between ‘Best Friend,’The Girl Out Here,’ and then ‘2021.’ I think ‘2021’ is probably the best one to listen to because as an artist you become attached and you start to nitpick at yourself. ‘The Girl Out Here’ was the first song off the project, and it was inspired by the female perspective of growing up in L.A., and the pressures that they have to deal with. ‘Best Friend’ is a song of all the trials and tribulations that I have gone through with women, and ‘2021’ is the song to get to know me. It’s actually my favorite song that I have released so far. It’s the one to focus on in terms of any promotion or marketing to get people to listen to it. It’s a catchy song that has depth.
Boyd: Final question, what should we expect next from you?
Davis: The music video for ‘2021’ is coming out January 29th! I shot it last week and it is awesome! I also have two music videos out right now for ‘Girl Out Here’ and ‘Bad Boy,’ but this music video is by far my best music video. I can’t wait for people to see it!
