Enigmatic, Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter, Yaya
Bey, is releasing her upcoming album Remember
Your North Star, her most expansive work to date,
on 17th June 2022 via Big Dada, available on clear
blue LP and cassette.
Remember Your North Star is a body of work that
showcases Yaya's experimental approach to R&B, Hip
Hop, Jazz, Reggae and Afrobeat music. The album
explores the landscape of Black music via Yaya's
storyteller approach and examines themes of romantic
turbulence, female empowerment, fraught parental
relationships and self-actualization, with production
primarily from Yaya, Aja Grant (of Phony Ppl) and DJ
Nativesun.
Yaya's lyricism and unfiltered approach shine through
with her new LP. Her previous EP, The Things I Can't
Take With Me, which centred around similar themes
received high praise from publications such as, Rolling
Stone, Pitchfork, FADER, Noisey, Harper's Bazaar, and
more. With Pitchfork describing Yaya's 'flow [as] poised
and unhurried.' Yaya has also garnered fans and
co-signs from the likes of Moses Sumney, Phony Ppl,
James Blake, Kota The Friend, Mndsgn, and more.
Yaya has performed live at AFROPUNK and in 2016
she played an intimate show with Sofar Sounds.
Forthcoming live shows include opening for Mndsgn at
Elsewhere NYC on March 21st playing all released
tracks with more dates to be announced in the US &
EU.
