Music Expert Names ‘Stay’ Her Single of the Week

Music expert Diana Cavazos Woloszyk has selected Stay by 7 Rising featuring Mayah Camara as her latest Single of the Week on The Ginger and Nuts Show, praising the track’s blend of modern synth-pop and cinematic storytelling.

Listen to Diana’s Full Review

Diana revealed that she first discovered the song while listening to Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist and said it immediately captured her attention.

“From the very first listen, I was completely intrigued by its sound and arrangement,” she explained. “There was something instantly familiar about it that transported me back to the days of Depeche Mode, yet it also felt fresh, modern and cinematic in its delivery.”

The track showcases the signature style of 7 Rising, who has built a reputation for combining atmospheric synth-pop with vivid, cinematic soundscapes. For Diana, however, one of the song’s standout elements is the contribution of featured vocalist Mayah Camara.

Mayah’s vocals are woven throughout the chorus alongside those of 7 Rising, creating what Diana describes as a powerful and seamless collaboration. Her voice adds both depth and texture to the production, helping to elevate the song’s cinematic quality.

“Together they create a collaboration that feels both powerful and seamless,” she said.

The discovery carried an extra level of excitement for Diana because 7 Rising is based in Missouri, a neighbouring state to her own. She said she always enjoys uncovering talented independent artists whose music leaves a lasting impression, and Stay certainly achieved that.

According to Diana, the song quickly distinguished itself from the many tracks featured on her New Music Friday playlist.

“In fact, out of every track on the playlist, Stay was the one I found myself returning to again and again,” she said. “That’s usually a sign that a song has truly connected with me.”

Known for championing music across a wide range of genres, Diana believes great songs deserve recognition regardless of style.

“My music recommendations span a variety of genres because being a lover of music means appreciating great songs wherever they may come from,” she noted. “Whether you’re a longtime fan of synth-driven music or simply enjoy discovering something new, I think you’ll find something special in Stay.”

Listeners of The Ginger and Nuts Show may already be familiar with Mayah, who was featured earlier this year with her acclaimed cover of Rhythm Is Gonna Get You. Diana said it was a pleasure to hear the singer appearing on another standout release.

She is encouraging listeners to check out Stay on digital streaming platforms and to watch the lyric video on YouTube. Fans are also urged to follow both artists on social media to keep up with future releases.

As the segment drew to a close, Diana formally announced her latest recommendation.

“This week’s Pick of the Week is Stay by 7 Rising featuring Mayah Camara.”

For fans of atmospheric synth-pop, cinematic production and memorable vocal performances, it’s a recommendation that may be difficult to ignore.
