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.”
Humanoid
Talay Riley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A humanoid has escaped
His descriptions un-parrel and too much contain
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Danger awaits
Every single vessel you see
Humanoids are flirtatious
So keep you eyes open
If you see him you should let him know
We love you, we'd love to
Take control of what you are and use it to screw with
Every single beating heart
Zoom into the future
Light year speed like a super
Me and you are not the same
I travelled from outer space
I'm a humanoid
(No, I'm not like those don't you no)
I'm usual
(No, I'm not like those I run this show)
I, I, I can't be destroyed
'Cause I'm a humanoid
(Noid, noid)
All freaky little ladies beware
This humanoids coming fast
Heavy bass makes tremble
As I give that body a scan uh, huh, mm
Super sexy invader
Bout as hard as titanium
So complex I appear a U.F.O to an alien
Oh yeah, uh huh
If you see him you should let him know
We love you, we'd love to
Take control of what you are and use it to screw with
Every single beating heart
Zoom into the future
Light year speed like a super
Me and you are not the same
I travelled from outer space
I'm a humanoid
(No, I'm not like those don't you no)
I'm usual
(No, I'm not like those I run this show)
I, I, I can't be destroyed
'Cause I'm a humanoid
(Noid, noid)
Humanoid
(Noid Noid)
Let's go
Humanoid
(Noid Noid)
Ohh
We love you, we'd love to
Take control of what you are and use it to screw with
Every single beating heart
Zoom into the future
Light year speed like a super
Me and you are not the same
I travelled from outer space
I'm a humanoid
(No, I'm not like those don't you no)
I'm usual
(No, I'm not like those I run this show)
I, I, I can't be destroyed
'Cause I'm a humanoid
(Noid, noid)
