Vocals / Nyfe
Vocals + Production / Amada
A darkly ambient track shrouded in Neo-soul warmth and stinging lyricism, writers and producers Nyfe and Amada explore sexuality and mental health.
The trans music-duo gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "band of outsiders." The duo owns their quirks and uses their music to address race, gender, and sexuality.
Their trans-ness does inform their writing, as does their experience with race, religion and outsider statuses of all kinds. But the music is so warm and generous that their search for meaning feels welcoming to anyone who wants to come along.
