Rising alt-R&B singer Yaya Bey has released her new album, Ten Fold, via Big Dada.
The album was preceded by the singles “crying through my teeth,” “the evidence,” “sir princess bad bitch,” “chasing the busy,” and “me and all my n****s.”
“I made this album in the midst of great loss. When life required me to redefine myself for myself. The only way I could do that was to live. To lean on everything I am and be present in every moment. The joy, the grief, the rage and curiosity, the adventure of it all,” Bey explained.
“I allowed life to be exactly what it is… complicated and nuanced. I surrendered. This music is a recording of the year I lost the things I thought I could not live without and the proof that I did indeed survive… and thrive.”
Ten Fold is the follow-up to Yaya Bey’s 2022 album, Remember Your North Star. The album included popular tracks like “meet me in brooklyn” and “pour up” featuring DJ Nativesun.
On May 23, Bey will kick off her mini tour in Brooklyn at Elsewhere. She will make additional stops in Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles, before concluding on June 1 in Philadelphia.
