Brooklyn R&B singer Yaya Bey has announced a new album, Remember Your North Star, which Yaya co-produced with Phony Ppl’s Aja Grant and DJ Nativesun and which comes out June 17 via Big Dada (pre-order). Speaking about the album, Yaya said, "I saw a tweet that said, ‘Black women have never seen healthy love or have been loved in a healthy way.’ That's a deep wound for us. Then I started to think about our responses to that as Black women. So this album is kind of my thesis. Even though we need to be all these different types of women, ultimately we do want love: love of self and love from our community. The album is a reminder of that goal." The first taste is the bold, soaring "Keisha." Listen and watch the self-directed video below.

Yaya also has upcoming tour dates, including SXSW and hometown NYC shows on March 23 at Bowery Electric with Piper Page and Cate Hamilton and April 21 at Elsewhere with MNDSGN and Melanie Charles. All dates are listed below.
