Kamaiyah is here to heat up the summer! After releasing two seperate projects in 2023, including The Am3rican Dream with Jay Worthy and Harry Fraud, and Another Summer Night, she returns with her newest project Figuring Out My Emotions. Bay Area’s Kamaiyah is here to score another point on the board for the West Coast.
The eight-song track list consists of her first feature-free release and taps producers Link+Up and Quake Beatz to provide the sonics for the production. These producers lend their expertise to craft a soundscape that is rich in West Coast vibes and alternative R&B elements. Kamaiyah expertly blends these sonic elements with melodic choruses and hard-hitting verses, delivering a project that stays true to her roots while also pushing her artistry forward.
In addition, she displays relentless emotions throughout the project, directing energy to those who attempt to label, compare, and box her in as an artist. Throughout “Figuring Out My Emotions,” Kamaiyah directs her energy towards confronting labels, comparisons, and preconceived notions that attempt to confine her as an artist.
Album Concept
The project is laced with West Coast influences and infused with alternative R&B production. It incorporates melodic vocals in the chorus and remorseless verses as she musically exemplifies the phrase “keep that same energy.”
In an interview with KQED, Kamaiyah said she is moving in the ways the industry is evolving.
“I don’t want to ever get complacent … because the way the industry is thriving right now is volume,” said Kamaiyah. “It’s not the ’90s or early 2000s, like, nobody is catching a hit that lasts for a fucking year anymore. People’s attention spans are so short. If you got the attention, keep it. And only way you keep it is more shit in their face. It’s got to be organic.”
As she dives into her emotions through relentless and unfiltered storytelling, Kamaiyah solidifies her place in the music industry as one of the most prevalent artists to listen to.
