“career day” By Yaya Bey
Yaya Bey shares a new video for Ten Fold album track “career day.” Co-directed by Chassidy David, finds Yaya expressing herself wholeheartedly in a multi-panel testimonial, triumphantly planting her flag that she’s steadfast and confident in the person she’s grown up to be. Yaya has served as each visual’s creative director, co-director and stylist alongside co-stylist Alexis Franklin.
On Ten Fold, Yaya brings her unadulterated truth to the forefront, with the faith that music is her calling and that the world will receive her truth and she’ll reap the fruits of her and her family’s labor tenfold. Her new LP is definitive, harkening back to aspects of her past while examining the future of the world around her. Over rapturous production from Corey Fonville (of Butcher Brown), Karriem Riggins, Jay Daniel, Exactly and Boston Chery, Yaya delivers a free-spoken masterpiece that speaks to the intricacies of persevering through a year punctuated by grief and loss, life-altering milestones and everything in between.
Yaya just recently wrapped a series of album release shows, bringing her electric live presence, which Rolling Stone likened to Nina Simone and Roberta Flack, to Brooklyn, DC, Los Angeles and Philadelphia. Yaya will also be embarking on a North American and European festival run throughout the Summer, before returning to Europe for a headline show in London at Lafayette on November 18th.
