Live Review: Tkay Maidza 'Switch Lanes' prod. by Paces

Tkay Maidza has released a killer new track with a second brain helping out on production.

It's no secret that TKAY MAIDZA has become one of Australia's favourite hip hop artists. The rappess has just released a new track called 'Switch lanes' and it shows off her talents in the most flattering light.

It will be featured on her upcoming EP 'Switch Tape', which will be released later on this month, and already sounds like it might become extremely popular. TKAY's tracks usually seem to have a hard melody, they feature a heavy bass bouncing its way in and out of a smooth array of synths but 'Switch Lanes' gives us something a bit different to listen to.

PACES has produced 'Switch Lanes' alongside TKAY and of course the final product highlights the amazing talents of both artists. TKAY shows off her versatility by both rapping with a slick precision, and crooning in the chorus like the most heavenly of angelic voices. PACES then of course creates a very relaxed melody that features a sweet marimba beat, a series of warmer house synths and a bunch of short vocal samples that are soft enough to not overpower TKAY.
