PRAISE FOR FANA HUES


The Pasadena-born, Los Angeles-based artist is carving a lane of her own, one sultry song at a time. VOGUE


Fana Hues has an acute sense of self-awareness. You can hear it in the way she sings about showing compassion to herself. - NPR


The success Fana Hues has rightfully earned for herself in the last few years would take most decades to achieve. COMPLEX




It’s officially Fana Hues season. Today, the dynamic R&B singer-songwriter returns with a passionate, emotionally raw single and intimate video, “Paper Tigers,” out now via Bright Antenna Records. Hinting at Fana’s next chapter, “Paper Tigers” is high-end R&B filled with ribonning, psychedelic guitars, boundless, evocative vocals, and pristine execution. Its swoon worthy video, directed by Kee Hwang, finds Fana and her lover trading city life for the romance of a glistening airstream that sets out for a journey. Of the single, Fana shares, “Paper tigers are all bluster and no muster. I'm the opposite. I'm big on displaying love, yes, but I actually possess the love I'm showcasing. This song is about the discovery of a fresh love that's so good, you have to scream about it.” Watch/Listen to “Paper Tigers” HERE


“Paper Tigers” is the first release since Fana’s critically acclaimed 2022 album flora + fana, an exquisite meditation on self-love heralded by NPRVogueComplexThe GuardianBillboardVIBE, and more. Since releasing her debut album, Hues, in 2020, Fana has steadily risen through the ranks of R&B as a promising singer and songwriter, earning a prominent feature on Tyler The Creator’s “Sweet / I Thought You Wanted to Dance" with Brent Faiyaz from his Grammy Award-winning album CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST. Fana’s compelling performances and limitless ability to paint emotions led to touring with Raveena, Snoh Aalegra, and Giveon in the US and playing a sold-out headline tour in Europe, as well as gaining fans in the likes of Janelle Monae, Sabrina Claudio, and Lucky Daye. 


Earlier this month, she took the stage at Spotify’s Fresh Finds live experience in Chicago alongside artists like Paris Texas, Slow Pulp and Casper Sage. Today, Fana was announced as the special guest on Lucky Daye’s US summer tour, kicking off on July 11th in San Francisco, and stopping at legendary venues like New York City’s Radio City Music Hall and Los Angeles’s Greek Theatre—tickets will be on sale May 3rd HERE. Also on Friday May 3rd, Fana will be hosting a “Paper Tigers” release event in Los Angeles at Paper Tiger Bar - invite info below. With new music on the horizon, Fana Hues’ return marks an exciting new chapter in her masterful artistic evolution.
