Bey, Yaya - Do It Afraid (Liquid Gold Coloured 2LP Vinyl)

Yaya Bey - Do It Afraid (Liquid Gold Coloured 2LP Vinyl)

Yaya Bey’s do it afraid is an assured and open-hearted record that embraces life’s contradictions. Across a blend of R&B, hip-hop, jazz, soul, and the soca rhythms of her Bajan heritage, she traces joy, pain, and everything between without flinching.

The Queens-based artist uses this album — her first for the drink sum wtr label — to reclaim narrative and space, shedding assumptions and leaning into something more grounded and expansive. It’s personal without being precious, uplifting without glossing over complexity.

Bey’s songwriting moves with clarity and warmth, reflecting a commitment to living fully, even in uncertainty.
