The Story
Enigmatic Brooklyn-based singer songwriter Yaya Bey releases her most expansive work to date, 'Remember Your North Star', the debut album on the newly relaunched label Big Dada.
The album explores the landscape of Black music via Yaya's storyteller approach and examines themes of romantic turbulence, female empowerment, fraught parental relationships and self-actualization, with production primarily from Yaya, Aja Grant (of Phony Ppl) and DJ Nativesun. Called an artist who "effortlessly mingles the personal and political with enthralling freshness" (PItchfork), 'Remember Your North Star' showcases Yaya's experimental approach to R&B, Hip Hop, Jazz, Reggae and Afrobeat.
