She made her unofficial debut in 1999 with the album Craving, with her first official single, My Eyes, following in 2000. Understatement would appear to be a common theme with Fayray as she isn't particularly well-known outside Japan. Understated also describes her style, attitude and music, the latter of which focuses on the piano (an instrument she began learning at the age 4). Her soft tone and impressive lyrical skill is complemented by the delightfully sweet and occassionally stirring music she composes. Though she regularly turns out superb ballads, Fayray is not shy of the occassional upbeat song (or even remix), demonstrating a skill for songwriting across a wide range. An oft overlooked gem, Fayray is certainly one to please those who desire a more jazz-inspired laid back feel to their music.

Overall Meaning

The song "First Time" by Fayray, is a romantic and sensual track that describes the intensity and passion of falling in love for the very first time. The first verse opens with Rihanna's memorable and soft voice singing about her first kiss and the first time her lover's fingers touched her. She then repeats the phrase "The first, the first" emphasizing the importance of these initial experiences in a relationship. Fabolous joins in the chorus and sings that he remembers his first time and how irresistible and unstoppable it felt.

In the first verse of the song, Fabolous expresses how he initially inspected Rihanna without any disrespect and admires her style and smile. He daydreams about kissing the back of her neck and explains how she stands out from other girls he has met. With a crush-like feeling and a rush of emotions, he mentions how he can tell when she's around just by the scent of her perfume.

The chorus repeats twice, with Rihanna singing about the first time her lover held her close, and the first time they were intimate. She concludes the song by stating how she knew from the first time that her love was meant for this person, and the entire track is an ode to the intense emotions and physical sensations that come with falling in love for the first time.
