South London’s Mya K is kicking off the year with a pivot in sound, showcased in her latest single, 'Distraction'.
Pairing her signature sultry R&B vocals with liquid DnB-inspired production by longtime collaborator VELLI, Mya K continues to prove her ability to push genre boundaries.
Set to a driving 164 BPM, 'Distraction' captures the lingering tension of unresolved emotions. With lyrics like, "Do you want to be a distraction?", Mya K lays bare a moment of vulnerability, showcasing her growth as a storyteller. The track’s slick, contemporary vibe recalls Kehlani’s 2016 hit of the same name, but Mya K’s distinctive style makes it uniquely hers.
Mya K’s journey from her beginnings in Nigeria at age 10 to the global stage is nothing short of remarkable. A graduate of the world-renowned Brit School, she’s honed her craft over the years and is now nominated for 'Fresher of the Year' at the State of RnB Awards, Mya K’s momentum is undeniable. With 'Distraction,' Mya signals an exciting year ahead, redefining R&B’s edges while staying true to its essence.
