This record will be released
After five years marked by loss, grief, and transformation, keiyaA returns with new album hooke’s law — a radiant statement of reinvention and healing. On lead single “take it”, the Chicago-born, NYC-based artist bends jazz, R&B, and hip-hop into something entirely her own, pairing raw vulnerability with visions of Black womanhood and liberation.
Artist: keiyaA
Genre: Contemporary
Label: XL Recordings
Chicago-born, NYC-based singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer keiyaA announces the details of her highly anticipated, sophomore album hooke’s law, out October 31st on XL Recordings. Written and produced over five years, hooke’s law is keiyaA’s document of survival through self-interrogation. The album deconstrusts and rebuilds her ego on her own terms, offering a safe space to process conflicting roles she faced growing up as a queer Black woman. Embracing discomfort and contradiction, keiyaA rejects the demand for neat resolution, instead honoring multivalence - allowing all her past, present and future selves to coexist in harmony, friction and confusion across a genre-defying blend of jazz, R&B, hip-hop, electronic, and experimental music
