Durban based artist Project-Kay has dropped a song titled The Dark Ages featuring SoulBass. The song has a very reflective and dark theme that is set by the haunting instrumental made up of piano keys, mellow violin strings and soft pads. On the song Kay discusses a dark and depressing time in his life where he contemplated taking his own life.

This song was written during the most difficult and darkest periods in his life and its’ lyrics draw straight from his soul which is exactly how the song was titled The Dark Ages. The courage he had to acquire in order to get through these delicate times is the very reason he wrote this tell-all song, but is also the reason he became the triumphant proud father he is today. He hopes this song will touch others faced with similar struggles and help them by assuring them that with God by your side, you can face anything and come out of it even stronger.
