Okay Kaya, a Norwegian-born, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter who is also a model and actress, releases her second album, her first with Jagjaguwar. Her presence has captivated many contemporary artists, and she has collaborated with King Krule, Porches, Sampha, and others. "WATCH THIS LIQUID POUR ITSELF" is the new album, released on January 24, 2020. While she handled most of the work on the album herself, she enlisted Jacob Portrait (UMO, Whitney, (Sandy)Alex G) and John Carroll Kirby (Solange, Kali Uchis) as producers to bring her ideas to fruition. The album opens with the dreamy R&B tune "Baby Little Tween," followed by "Ascend and Try Again," which features an acoustic guitar and an impressive chorus. Other tracks include "Psych Ward," a straightforward rock tune reminiscent of Lou Reed and PJ Harvey; "Asexual Wellbeing," an euphoric electronic dance track; "Popcorn Heart," with an oldies feel; "Stonethrow," a new wave track; and "Zero Interaction Ramen Bar," composed only of vocal overdubs and chimes. Despite the variety of approaches, the overall ambiance and her raw vocals give the album a sense of unity. The world she writes about is very similar to ours—Netflix, jet lag, vegan peanut butter, chocolate ice cream, ramen eaten alone, and trendy diets. However, the world she captures through her perspective has a deeper, darker meaning, vibrating and flickering with the fear and desire we experience in order to understand. The words exchanged between Twitter memes are depicted as modernist poetry through Kaya Wilkins' dreamy, soft-focus lens.
