AÁYANNA REVEALS HER SOUL-STIRRING DEBUT EP “DON’T LOOK BACK” HERE

Today, born and raised Chicago artist Aáyanna reveals her debut EP ‘Don’t Look Back’. On the new project, Aáyanna experiments with a sultry R&B sound that with each track cohesively curates an infectious vibe reinforced by her enchanting vocals and soul-stirring aura.

Take a listen to the ‘Don’t Look Back’ EP HERE

The EP features singles ‘Can You Take It’, ‘Won’t Cry’, ‘Kill For Me’ and ‘Risky’, which was described by The Line of Best Fit as a track where "her vocal delivery is hushed, ideal for dreamy indie, but it's never cloying or saccharine". This collection of tracks also includes three new tracks that further strengthen her profile as a rising R&B inspired artist, heavily motivated to bring a new flavour of R&B to the scene, which is without a doubt achieved on this new EP. 

‘Gaslight’ is soon to be a notorious R&B anthem, in all its ambient sensuality, and positively kicks off the EP with a bang, introducing the project and the musical talent that is Aáyanna.

More on Aáyanna … 

Born and raised in the south suburbs of Chicago, Aáyanna learned very early on that writing was the easiest and most effective way of communicating. She started writing her own songs at as early as 7 years old, and recorded her first one with her dad’s travel set up at 9. From then on she continued to write and record songs here and there, but released her first song in 2017, right at the end of her 10th grade year. The summer going into 11th grade, her family moved to Atlanta where she would perform at any festival, party, or bar that would allow her to. One small festival led her to meet producer Juberlee, who has worked with Playboi Carti, Lecrae, Mulatto, and more. This is where she started experimenting outside of the traditional R&B sound and added elements that would set her apart. She continued to release music on all platforms, and did background vocals for artists like SwaVay and Andy Mineo. In 2021, Aáyanna started releasing more frequently and getting playlisted. Shortly after, her single Let Me Find Out caught the attention of Avant Garden where she signed her first record deal.
