After five years of navigating loss, grief, and anger, Chicago-born, NYC-based singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer keiyaA emerges in the light of reinvention and healing, shaped by years of solitude spent in the unending tide of mess and renewal, returning to share her findings with unapologetic clarity on her long-awaited sophomore album hooke's law, due out October 31st on XL Recordings. Known for her genre-defying blend of jazz, R&B, hip-hop, and experimental music and penetrating explorations of Black womanhood and liberation, rich harmonies, and fearless experimentation, keiyaA reintroduces her artistry with the same emotional intensity and sonic innovation that defined her 2020 debut Forever, Ya Girl, arriving in the wake of her first theatrical stage play, milk thot. KeiyaA wrote, composed and produced the music on hooke's law over the course of 5-years and finished as she was working on milk thot. KeiyaA's art is built on multivalence, on imagining future selves and allowing them to coexist with every past and present version of herself too. Throughout hooke's law, keiyaA does the perilous work of deconstructing and rebuilding her ego so that no one else can do it for her. The record, then, is a document of self-interrogation as a means of survival. keiyaA's self-produced debut album received Pitchfork's "Best New Music", landed on year-end best-of lists from The New York Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, and The Guardian, and was later named to Pitchfork's Best of the Decade So Far list. It also drew praise from artists including Solange, Jay-Z, Blood Orange, and Moses Sumney. The album announced keiyaA as one of music's most vital new voices and producers, and gave her the access to expand on her creative vision-one that has since grown into a thriving garden of projects, performances, and collaborations, each distinct but rooted in her singular artistry.
