keiyaA announces new LP, shares “take it,” touring with Ravyn Lenae

1 Mins read

keiyaA returned last month with “stupid prizes,” her first new music since 2022, and she’s now announced her sophomore album. hooke’s law, the follow-up to 2020’s great Forever, Ya Girl, is due out October 31 via XL. She calls it “an album about the journey of self love, from an angle that isn’t all affirmations and capitalistic self-care. It’s not a linear story with a moral at the end. It’s more of a cycle, a spiral – it’s Hooke’s law. With this work I aim to interrogate and embrace anger and conflict, disappointment and dissatisfaction, about not being docile and about rejecting mammyism and traditional expectations of fat black brown and dark skinned women in our communities. I speak about desire + longing, about examining maladaptive tendencies, conflict avoidance – the eternal relationship with the self.”

The album includes “stupid prizes,” and she’s shared the second single, “take it.” Watch the video, directed by Caity Arthur, below.

keiyaA will support Ravyn Lenae on tour this fall, including her NYC shows at Brooklyn Paramount on October 13 and Terminal 5 on October 19. See all dates below.
