January 24 street date. Limited coke bottle clear vinyl edition. In Okay Kaya songs, her world looks a lot like ours - Netflix, jetlag, vegan peanut butter and chocolate ice cream, lonely bowls of ramen, diet trends. But unlike ours, each of these vibrates and shimmers with deeper, darker meaning, with existential dread and desire for understanding. This is Sade for nihilists. As she transforms feelings, defeats, and victories into songs, the lyrics often involve pools of sweat, oceans, and other forms of wetness. But Okay Kaya's world is not one of renewal and rebirth - it's not water at all, actually. "It's more like bile," Kaya says, "It's what comes out in the purge." In these songs, Kaya swims through her melancholy and anxiety - not as a way of cleansing herself, but as an understanding of their depths.
