Okay Kaya: “In Regards To Your Tweet”
New York’s Okay Kaya always seems to have tongue firmly placed in cheek. “Sleep on me if you want to…” warns the refrain. No one’s sleeping on Kaya Wilkins, the model, actress, and musician who just released her second album SAP on Jagjaguwar in 2022. It’s a dreamy, dancy mix of songs that explore introspective territory without falling prey to too much narcissistic hot air intrigue. Our highlighted track “In Regards To Your Tweet” drips with the kind of wit and whimsy that keeps Okay Kaya’s pop chantoozery sounding fresh.
