Alt-R&B sensation Yaya Bey debuts her latest album, Ten Fold, marking a significant milestone in her musical journey. Released via Big Dada, the album delivers a captivating sonic experience that showcases Bey’s artistic evolution and introspective lyricism.

To lean on everything I am and be present in every moment.” She emphasizes the complexity and nuance of life, expressing gratitude for the journey of self-discovery and growth.
Ten Fold follows Bey’s acclaimed 2022 album, Remember Your North Star, which featured standout tracks like “meet me in brooklyn” and “pour up” featuring DJ Nativesun. With her latest release, Bey continues to push artistic boundaries and delve into themes of resilience, identity, and empowerment.
