Brooklyn's Yaya Bey returns with the title track of her forthcoming EP, Exodus the North Star, to be released March 24th on Big Dada. The first taste of the EP, 'exodus the north star' is as smooth as melted chocolate, with a timeless, soulful sound that draws inspiration from various decades...think D'Angelo meets Sylvia Striplin, backed with a reggae band - what's not to love? The EP contains six tracks, featuring collaborations with Jay Daniel ('12 houses down'), Exaktly ('ascendent ('mother fxcker'), a track recorded at London’s infamous Abbey Road Studios, and Nativesun ('when saturn returns') — picking up where previous album Remember Your North Star left off, whilst drawing on elements of R&B, soul, jazz, reggae, afrobeat, hip-hop and house music. Yaya Bey explains, "Exodus the North Star is my most vulnerable work to date. This is how I see joy and love in the world and what I aspire to feel and be. I have become an expert at turning my pain and grief as a black woman into music. Black people have a masterful way of telling our stories and sharing pain, but we are also masters of joy and imagination. We have always been in a global conversation about how to alchemize our experiences and reimagine our circumstances. From the ties between Lovers Rock and R&B to Gospel and House. Our joy is a collective effort". Check out the first single here! -Ellie Rose-Davies
