PRESS PRAISE FOR FANA HUES The success Fana Hues has rightfully earned for herself in the last few years would take most decades to achieve. - COMPLEX 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 Pasadena-born, Los Angeles-based artist is carving a lane of her own, one sultry song at a time. - VOGUE |
Today, beloved singer-songwriter and executive producer Fana Hues releases her masterful third studio album, MOTH, out now via Bright Antenna Records. The soul-stirring and meticulous 13-track album crystallizes Fana’s remarkable ability to paint emotions with her music, both lyrically and sonically. Her voice, at times celestial and tender, at others intrepid and electric, is the driving force behind MOTH’s otherworldly sonic cocoon. The final chapter in a trilogy of records showcasing pristine execution, MOTH, is a vulnerable and arresting portrait of Fana’s newfound womanhood. Speaking on the album, Fana says, “Moths fly through darkness constantly searching for light even at the risk of harm. I’m always en route on a journey to find the reason for a feeling in its purest form, even if it hurts.” Listen HERE. |
Working with co-producers like Levan Kali and Josh Grant, MOTH explores a panorama of themes, from lust and love languages to patience and karma. The record features songs like “Paper Tigers,” a ribboning track stuffed with psychedelic guitars and boundless vocals, summertime bop “Rental”, an indulgent, irreverent and sassy ode to distractions and joy, and “Sweetlike”, a sultry, playful, assertive examination of a cat-and-mouse dynamic between lovers. Watch the official video for “Paper Tigers” HERE and the official video for “Rental” HERE. |
MOTH is the first release since Fana’s critically acclaimed 2022 album flora + fana, an exquisite meditation on self-love heralded by NPR, Vogue, Complex, The Guardian, Billboard, VIBE, 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 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. |
Fana’s new music has landed her influential playlist covers at Spotify, Amazon, Tidal and Pandora, with “Rental” landing on over 50 editorial playlists across DSPs. In April, she took the stage at Spotify’s Fresh Finds live experience in Chicago alongside artists like Paris Texas, Slow Pulp and Casper Sage. Last month, Fana was also 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 are on sale May 3rd HERE. With the imminent success of MOTH, Fana Hues’ return marks an exciting new chapter in her masterful artistic evolution. |
