AKIA (@whoisakia) is setting the tone for summer with her smooth new single “Pajamas,” out now via SinceThe80s and Human Re Sources. The track is the first drop from her upcoming EP Crazy, and it’s giving all the right vibes. Soft, confident, and completely in her zone.
Built on airy production and laid-back energy, “Pajamas” feels like a late-night text turned into a song. AKIA’s vocals are warm and magnetic. Thus, letting the emotion speak without doing too much. She knows her power and doesn’t have to prove it. She just is. It’s a vibe that says: I’m here, I’m good, and I’m in control.
This new release follows the buzz of her March single “DND,” which already cleared a million streams and landed her on some of R&B’s top editorial playlists. With momentum like that, it’s clear AKIA is carving out a lane of her own.
Fans first met her through her debut EP DUMB, a raw introduction to her talent for storytelling and emotion. Now with Crazy on the horizon, she’s leveling up, showing more depth and growth while still keeping her signature sound. Moreover, that sound is honest, unfiltered, and effortlessly cool.
Born in Forrest City, Arkansas, AKIA grew up singing in church and later caught national attention on American Idol and Ms. T’s Music Factory. After going viral for her emotional livestream covers, she packed up and moved to Atlanta to chase her dream. And it’s paying off. Her breakout hit “Soft Girl Era” proved she could write songs that hit just as hard as they heal.
With Crazy dropping soon and “Pajamas” setting the tone, AKIA is showing she’s she’s a force to be reckoned with. Stream the new single now and get ready for what’s next.
