Music Review: Cautious Clay's dreamy R&B-pop ‘The Hours: Morning' is an exploration in time
Cautious Clay, the multi-instrumentalist whose dreamy R&B and indie-pop sound has earned him the attention of everyone from Arooj Aftab and John Mayer to Taylor Swift, embraces the passing of time on his latest EP, 'The Hours: Morning.' Across eight tracks each representing an hour from 5 a.m. to 12 p.m., Clay documents the clarity, optimism and sometimes sinking reality of the start of each day through soulful, funk-pop beats. 'The Hours: Morning' follows Clay's 2023 biographical album 'Karpeh' (titled after his given name, Joshua Karpeh) and joins a discography that shows his instrumental and vocal prowess. Clay's moody, breakout track, 2017's 'Cold War,' was interpolated by Swift on 'London Boy' for her 2019 record 'Lover, ' shortly after it featured in a scene in Olivia Wilde's coming-of-age comedy 'Booksmart.' His 2021 song 'Wildfire' accumulated tens of millions of streams on its own before being covered by Rosé of the mega-popular K-pop girl group Blackpink. It's a simple idea, framing songs around eight morning hours, but the structure of 'The Hours: Morning' allows for complex sonic exploration. Clay tasked himself with producing a distinct sound for each, emulating a specific mentality associated with the hour. The smooth R&B opener 'Tokyo Lift (5 am)' embraces early morning limbo, in his case, the afterglow of late-night karaoke. Unburdened by the realities of the day — 'You're in denial / But I'm not talking 'bout a river,' Clay sings in a raspy, whispered tone — the mood is light, the production mellow and synth-heavy. A flute solo adds brightness to the final verse, like a bird's call meeting the morning sun. 'Traffic (7 am)' starts with a string of relationship reflections. 'Every morning felt like traffic / Brain full of static,' he begins, eventually arriving at a sensual chorus of overlapping vocals. 'It's like poetry,' Clay sings, 'I felt the hair on my skin / Raising when you crashed in / To me.' The song is capped by Clay's crisp saxophone. Bass guitar adds funk to 'Amber (11 am).' And by 'Smoke Break (12 pm),' the EP's closer, Clay's voice is more pronounced. The drumbeats behind them, quicker. Clay isn't restricted by his hourly concept. Each song is engaging enough to exist outside of its designated time block, free of its parenthetical label. But together, Clay creates a colorful world — a morning listeners will want to wake up early for.

Celeb Makes Bold Statement About ‘Hot' Taylor Swift
Tyra Banks seems to know Taylor Swift loves a 'London Boy' — the pop star's Lover track starts out with an audio clip of Idris Elba — and now, the supermodel wants the two to collab on the remake of The idea of Swift and Elba starring in the '90s remake is 'hot,' Banks, 51, emphasized on a recent episode of the Today show when asked who she thinks should star in the Whitney Houston-Kevin Costner update. 'I think Taylor Swift, 'cause business and commerce, art — she would freakin' sell like crazy,' the former America's Next Top Model host told Jenna Bush Hager. Banks further posed the idea of a race-swap remake. More from Spin: Christian McCaffrey Family's Messy Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce Drama Gets an Update Justin Vernon Talks New Bon Iver Album With Todd Snyder The 25 Most Influential People in Music In 2025 'I'm just gonna be real, I'm a Black girl, it was Whitney Houston as a Black girl, Kevin Costner as a White man,' she said of the original movie, which starred the late Houston as a famous movie star and singer, and Costner as the titular character: her bodyguard. So, Banks continued, 'What if we flipped it and it was Taylor Swift and Idris Elba? Hot!' Swift, for her part, has already worked with the director who is reportedly helming the new film. She and Sam Wrench collaborated on her mega tour documentary, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, which Wrench directed. The movie grossed more than $180 million domestically, per Box Office Mojo. When Bush Hager asked Banks — who is known for her own acting roles in Life-Size, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and more — why she wouldn't cast herself as Houston's character, Banks held nothing back. 'Hell no. We need somebody that can really sing,' she quipped in response. In addition to 'London Boy,' Swift and Elba previously worked together on the 2019 movie Cats.
