OKAY KAYA CHECK YOUR FACE
The fiercely idiosyncratic Okay Kaya announces her new album Oh My God—That’s So Me with the equally self-aware single 'Check Your Face'. Laying laissez-faire vocals over vibey keys and a laid-back groove, clean guitar strums punctuate Kaya's light-hearted lyricism. Conjuring the saucy playfulness of Conan Mockasin's Caramel, infused with what can only be described as an arid sense of humour, she explains: "Wrote this slacker disco song about wanting to be, if not a not a brightsider, then at least a belly laugher. Sometimes tricky to access just that bliss, but if you’re happy and you know it, check your face! It was fun and warming to make this track on the island during a frigid winter. It was a quiet time without much social stimuli. If you’re gonna dance alone in your basement, might as well make a song-to-dance match." Oh My God—That’s So Me will arrive on the 6th of September. -Holly Mullineaux
