Last year, the Queens soul singer Yaya Bey released her album Ten Fold, contributed to the benefit compilation TRAИƧA, and dropped off of the SXSW lineup because of the US Army and defense contractor sponsorships that the festival has since renounced. Also, there was a great Beyoncé song called “Ya Ya,” which probably messed with her search results. Now, Yaya Bey is gearing up to play her home borough’s Governors Ball fest and, she’s signed with a new label and dropped a single that celebrates her Bajan heritage.
