The announcement of the Matters of the Heart Tour follows a monumental year for the multi-talented singer, songwriter and producer. A soul-stirring and meticulous 13-track album, Fana’s masterful third album MOTH stole hearts in 2024 earning praise from Pitchfork, Harper’s Bazaar, ABC News, NPR, Elle, FADER, Essence, Stereogum, Vibe, Uproxx, and more. Fana’s voice, at times celestial and tender, at others intrepid and electric, is the driving force behind MOTH’s otherworldly sonic cocoon. Her live show reinforces her remarkable ability to paint emotions with her music, both lyrically and sonically.
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. Last 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 summer, Fana was the special guest on Lucky Daye’s US theater tour, stopping at legendary venues like New York City’s Radio City Music Hall and Los Angeles’s Greek Theatre. Fana was also announced as the first artist in Spotify’s inaugural R&B Soundscapes series. In August, she was featured in rapper Doechii’s popular Swamp Sessions series on “SUNDAY’S BEST”. With the continued success of MOTH, Fana Hues’ return to the stage marks an exciting start to 2025. |
