Yaya Bey

Yaya Bey – Ten Fold (Big Dada, BD314). A luminous, diaristic R&B suite from one of Brooklyn’s most incisive voices. Bey threads neo‑soul, lovers rock, jazz chords and hip‑hop poetics into intimate songs about self‑worth, kinship and romantic detours; her writing glows with conversational cadence while the production cradles it in bass‑rich warmth, off‑kilter percussion and tape‑worn keys. Think contemporary soul with classic sensibility—hooks that linger, pocket‑deep grooves, and vocals that move from feather‑soft to fearless. Ten Fold plays like a late‑night confessional you can dance to: equal parts head‑nod, heart‑mend and healing ritual on vinyl.
