NAKAYA Shares “Try” Single + Video via FLOOD | 'Fire Becomes Me' EP Out April 1 via Better Company Records

"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

Los Angeles-based alt singer-songwriter NAKAYA shares a smooth electro-infused romp called “Try,” the first track off her upcoming project, Fire Becomes Me (due April 1, 2022 via Better Company Records).

Speaking on the single and her upcoming project, NAKAYA wrote:

“Fire Becomes Me is a project about growth and resilience as it chronicles Nakaya’s journey towards self acceptance. The lead single, ‘Try’ was penned nearly 7 years prior to its release and details an internal battle between diminishing self talk and reality. Nakaya says about its forthcoming release, “it felt like a natural progression to share this now when the demons I once fought in my head have finally silenced. There is nostalgia and kindness in the way I understand ‘Try’ now that I’m stronger in my identity.”
