A carefully crafted sonic biography of Äyanna and who she is as a person across 9 addictive tracks, About A Boy is a vulnerable, confessional body of work presented through idealistic, playful eyes that effortlessly weaves UKG, dancehall, reggae and more into a contemporary pop and R&Boffering. A powerful statement of what it means to be Black and British, Äyanna shines a different light on her Jamaican heritage, UK upbringing and love of Pop as a suburban girl navigating her social and romantic life on the periphery of London. Transitioning from the ethereal musings of her debut, this EP reveals a more grounded and intimate perspective, reflecting Ayanna's own journey through the complexities of modern love and relationships.
This latest release follows a hugely successful year so far. Hot off the back of her ground-breaking debut In A Perfect World EP released in Autumn 2023 via LVRN that brought in an exclusive “Girlfriend” remix featuring some of London’s hottest rising stars Tamera and Mneliaearlier this year, 2024 has seen Äyanna support Tems at her sold out London Eventim Apollo show and most recently bagging a feature on Headie One’s new album with “Rapunzel”. Amidst a slew of early co-signs for the young artist from celebrated artists such Stormzy, Summer Walker, SPINALL to name a few, Äyanna has continued to prove herself one of the most in-demand and exciting new talents.
