About Queen

South African R&B star Ayanda Jiya new EP "Queen" release date 23 April 2021. Ayanda Jiya puts rappers FLVME, Kwesta, A-Reece and Stogie T to task and claims her rightful crown. Whether singing about being desired (“No Games”), asserting her place in the game (“Let Me In”) or seeing through performative charm (“Mr Smooth”), Ayanda Jiya does it with her customary grace and soul. The production on QUEEN is equally elegant, mostly contemporary bass-heavy beats decorated with sinewy synths and pads but still steeped in vintage R&B and soul. Peep her interpolation of Tevin Campbell’s “Can We Talk” on the elegant “Talk to Me”, in which the queen encourages a potential lover to toughen up and hit her up.  "Queen" EP is available for streaming on all digital platforms.
