KeiyaA makes music that excavates, discovers, and excavates again, all in the service of exploring life’s most beautiful and daunting questions: What do we owe to ourselves and others? How do the things we desire hint at the shape of our souls? What does it take to achieve peace of mind, especially when the world is intent on denying you of it? Why won’t you love me when I’m so damn easy to love?
Her debut album, Forever Ya Girl, was genre-defying work of simultaneous self discovery and self determination. The production, which pulled from R&B, jazz, electronic music, and soul, was as limitless as the lyrics. As keiyaA grappled with these questions, she wove together genres and crafted a sound all her own: Her gossamer vocals cascaded and floated across slippery funk bass lines, pools of synth and reverb, and samples of Black cultural touchstones like Nina Simone interviews and snippets from Beyoncé tracks.
This rich, complex music resonated deeply with fans and critics alike, landing keiyaA Pitchfork’s “Best New Music” designation, spots on year-end best-of lists from The New York Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, and The Guardian, and praise from artists including Solange, Jay-Z, Earl Sweatshirt, Blood Orange, Kimberly Drew, and Moses Sumney.
