The Progressive Underground Pick of the Week: ‘take it’ by keiyaA
This Pick of the Week comes from keiyaA, whose sophomore album is an immersive blend of future soul, jazz, and psychedelia.
What’s up, Detroit. Chris Campbell here with The Progressive Underground Pick of the Week. This one comes from Chicago native now Brooklyn-based artist keiyaA, who broke through with her 2020 debut “Forever, Ya Girl.”
She returns five years later with a widescreen sophomore statement, the 19-track “hooke’s law,” an immersive blend of future soul, jazz, and psychedelia. The cut we’re about to bump captures the album’s off-center groove design with dizzy drum patterns, sly beat switches, and elastic time.
Here’s keiyaA with “take it,” and it’s my Pick of the Week.
That was keiyaA with “take it,” from her new album “hooke’s law.”
If future soul and psychedelic textures hit your ear, lock in every Saturday evening at 6 p.m. for The Progressive Underground. We move through soul, nu-jazz, deep house, electronica, B-sides, and rare groove with a Detroit-centered, global lens.
