XY

Urban Music Award winner - Best R&B Act (2006 Urban Music Awards) and Winner of Network TEN’s ‘X-Factor’ as the



lead singer in Random, Xy (pronounced ‘Zigh’) debuts his solo work for the world. He can sing, dance, compose,



produce and is an definitely a lady charmer, the 6ft something entertainer has the appeal to steal hearts while



sharing his music. He has travelled, seen it all, done it all yet the down to earth Tongan born understands himself



and accepts his gift of talent as something he has to share. As part of Random, the tall braided hair crooner has



been able to reach a very broad audience on national television and radio shows. With his long list of



accomplishments it is fairly obvious that Xy Latu has well and truly established himself as a multi-faceted



entertainer on the Australian music scene, but he is certainly not planning to rest on his laurels – all his



accomplishments so far are merely a launch pad for much more to come. Xy continues to work hard writing,



recording and producing new material focused on a solo career. With 18 tracks on his debut album, the man is



definitely setting the next level of sound for Australian if not global RnB. The 26 year old makes his sound quite



clear: innovative, challenging yet still familiar and all-round acceptable. His sound is street tough, club banging



and smoothed out silk while his vocals dance around the groove to get you feeling his various moods. ‘Games’ is the



first single and is a collaborated effort between two hungry producers/artists. Produced by Adeez from Beat Kamp



Music with Xy and featuring New Zealand MC, MZRE (pronounced "Mizery") the catchy hook and up-tempo song is



definitely the quickest to enjoy. The track itself sounds familiar and has a feel good timbre to it with intent to



appeal to the mass. Xy’s writing skills twist the usual spin of romance by reversing the typical mindsets from



headache to enjoyment. He actually enjoys the flirting, teasing included in the mind games lovers play. Hence the



hook “So play your games with me baby. Cos it turns me on!” The album is bursting with strong hooks, melodic



verses and a host of upcoming hungry guests. Standout tracks are Keep Movin - a classic and pure RnB slow jam,



Temptin - a club joint featuring Yah B's southern slur and Superhero - a ballad destined to be a movie theme. With



the production guidelines being relaxed to allow Xy's creativity to blossom, the album titled - X.Y. Generation, is



definitely on another level pushing forward to the music of the future.
