1. Sakyi. It’s grand to have you four introduce your sound and more. Your EP Four is out right now. Talk through how each of you is feeling. REECE: It feels good to finally release a body of work that we have worked hard on for a long time. CARL: It's an amazing feeling to finally release it. A proud moment for me and the boys. AARON: It’s a great feeling because it’s our first actual body of work, which has taken a lot of time and energy to produce. EDEN: It has been a long time coming so it feels great to finally share it with the world. 2. It must have been an absolute mountain climb to finally complete it from where you all started. Talk us through the EP. What’s the tale behind its development and what was a good highlight that you could all share? REECE: The process behind the EP was challenging but also a lot of fun. It was hard to pick the songs we wanted on the EP originally but we narrowed it down to the 6 tracks currently on there. It did take a lot of late nights and early mornings to get it done, but it was definitely worth it. CARL: It was a tough journey getting this project over the line but I enjoyed every minute. The late nights, spending hours and hours in the studio, meeting up with the boys to finalize the finer details, it was great. I would say the highlight of creating this project which I believe we all share would, would be selecting and cementing the 6 tracks that are on the EP. AARON: We wanted to make a body of work for the audience to hear our sound and to see how we’ve matured as artists, and reintroduce ourselves to the world as SAKYI. EDEN: I loved it. Having the project out and hearing the positive feedback just makes all the late nights and hard grafts worth it. Our aim was to put the world on notice, especially the UK RnB scene and I feel that this project is the first step to our takeover. A personal highlight of mine would be writing with my brothers and being able to connect with them creatively.

3. You all worked on six heavily super tracks from 24 hours, Run My Way, Save Me and through to Your Way. As bandmates and songwriters, how was the writer's camp for this whole project? Do you have any favourite songs off the EP? REECE: So all the songs on the EP were written by us. We didn’t have a songwriting camp for this project, moving forward I think we will go down that avenue too. My personal favourite track is your way, the reason being is that I can listen to it over and over and not get bored of it. CARL: Writing with the boys was great. It is so easy to connect creatively because we are all so close. It's absolute vibes when we are together creating. I would say my favourite track from the EP is ‘Save me. AARON: Personally my favourite track would be damage because it’s a feel-good song and as I like to dance it has great elements in the song that allows me to just Feel the music and dance. EDEN: The process for writing these songs was very enjoyable and easy to be honest. We all get on so well which makes it easy for us to merge creatively. My favourite song on this project is damage.
