You have to find peace in that duality, says Yaya Bey, who commits to lifes delight humour, love, the power of human movement and connection even if she has to do it afraid. With her new album, which follows a run of critically acclaimed releases and marks her debut on art-forward indie label drink sum wtr, the Queens, New York singer-songwriter thrives across uplifting, effervescent material. A rejection of past narratives projected onto her, do it afraid finds Bey reclaiming her story with resolutely fun, full-hearted, and nuanced songs that pull from R&B, hip-hop, jazz, soul, and dance music, including the soca stylings of her familys Bajan roots. do it afraid celebrates all sides of Yaya as part of a collective lifeforce that doesnt subscribe to fear but to the moments that move us.
