LISTEN & SHARE: NAKAYA - Fire Becomes Me Stream LISTEN/WATCH & SHARE: NAKAYA - "Fire Becomes Me" Stream / YouTube LISTEN/WATCH & SHARE: NAKAYA - "Try” Stream / YouTube "A captivating collection that ranges from thoughtful R&B-infused folk ('Climbing Down') to soulful electronic soundscapes ('Try')." - Cool Hunting "'Fire Becomes Me' [is] a sublime single with waves of subdued guitars that NAKAYA layers with a soft, near quavering energy. The song builds, with her voice becoming more firm, her tone strengthening, slowly crescendoing into an echoing chorus championing femininity strength." - Ones to Watch "A cavernous music video providing a dramatic visual to NAKAYA’s cool vocals and funky instrumental" - FLOOD "The self-taught vocalist and queer woman of color conjures up a transfixing blend of R&B, electronica and ambient alternative to find new remedies to the age-old affliction of unrequited love." - Billboard "Ballet Shoes is an aching but decisive exercise in compartmentalizing post-relationship ambiguity. Things aren't as cut and dry on B-side 'Goodbye,' where NAKAYA steps back into the root of the issue above as if destined by some starry night sky." - The FADER "An eerie, trip-hop, R&B infused electronica kind of vibe." - Wonderland Today, Los Angeles-based alt singer-songwriter NAKAYA shares her brand new EP, Fire Becomes Me (out now via Better Company Records). This new four-track project is about growth and resilience as it chronicles Nakaya’s journey towards self acceptance. Speaking on the EP, NAKAYA wrote: "Honestly, I started this project feeling completely directionless but what I found was that Fire Becomes Me became my source of healing. I would love to tie the theme up with a singular bow but life is not so linear so I will say that it chronicles a vast change. I always made frail attempts at controlling the way my life went, but in this record you can see me grow from a person who fought with circumstance to one that embraced a sense of acceptance through my experiences. I am mutating and growing and shifting and I think the work reflects that." NAKAYA LINKS Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube
