Talay’s aim is for nothing lower than the stars, naming Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Beyonce and James Brown as his greatest inspirations. But he has always been a talent hungry for a twist, and he proudly claims a strong country influence from artists like Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts in album tracks like ‘Missing You’. But he also went further, going out and studying the biggest names in indie and rock from Coldplay to The Beatles in the hope of stitching together a truly universal sound. “I knew I wanted to branch over,” he explains, “I didn’t just want to be the typical R&B black guy which I thought was what people would expect from me. So I took it upon myself to listen to all that stuff, I sat down and taught myself to enjoy it and after a while it became natural.”
Good As Gold

Oh oh heaven that she goes , angel wheres your halo

And when the mist is clear i'll be as good as gold

You say you got a man and you don't wanna' break his heart
Well I can understand that me and your man are a hundred miles apart
He can take you local I could make you global I'??m gonna' gril stake
On your man like Tofo ,

Oh oh heaven that she goes , angel wheres your halo

And when the mist is clear i'll be as good as gold

(Rap)
I met her out in Paris by the Eiffel tower helped her
With her bag she smiled at me as she felt the power
I was there for buisness she was there for shopping
Swapped eleven digits and then we got to talking
Then we got to walkin' then we got to touchin'
And then we took it to that level there ain't no discussin'
You know me and women if I say she spent the night
Then that means I hit it that means I hit it proper
Gave her a heart transplant and sent her to the doctor but
Lady here's the offer true the way your body shining
Wit' your gold skin , third finger on the left
Diamond with the gold ring
SKY
Take you with me,
I'll give you this and that whatever you dream of
And when the mist is clear i'll be as good as gold
Yeah well i'll all be as good as gold
I'll be as good as gold
The song "Good As Gold" by Talay Riley is a romantic song that speaks of wanting to take home a woman that the singer has seen for the first time. The lyrics are heavily inspired by R&B and hip-hop, with several rap verses seamlessly blended with singing. The song expresses the desire of the singer to be with the woman, but he is aware that she has a man. However, he believes that he is better for her and can give her the world. He believes that he is as good as gold, and he assures her that he will take care of her once she is with him. Despite the lyrics being heavily influenced by the hip hop genre, they still manage to convey a message of love and care for the woman who the singer is interested in.
The line "Oh oh heaven that she goes, angel where's your halo" speaks of how the singer sees the woman as if she's an angel that has been sent from heaven. The line "And when the mist is clear i'll be as good as gold" signifies the promise that the singer is making to the woman that once they are together, he will be the best partner she could ever ask for. The song is heavily reliant on the catchy chorus, which gets stuck in the head of whoever listens to it.
