Manchester-by-way-of-Oregon R&B and soul singer Nyah Grace has released her new single, ‘More,’ via Palawan Productions.
‘More’ is a gorgeous slice of neo-soul addressing love's addictive tendencies as Nyah showcases an effortlessly smooth, breathy vocal among a sensuous groove and warm, pulsating bass and synths.
Regarding the single, Nyah says, “‘More’ had been in the works for a while. After sending a hopeful DM to a writer-producer I deeply admired, we wrote and recorded it in just a day, and later Paya added some additional production.
“This song is about loving someone so much that it feels as though you’re always craving more. You simply just can’t get enough...”
Nyah launched her music career at age 17 with the release of her debut album Honey-Coloured in 2020. It is a record that proved Nyah’s talent far beyond her years, with her mesmeric range and dreamy lyrical flow captured by producers Steve Chrisanthou (Corinne Bailey Rae) and Michael Graves (Des’ree).
The record has achieved over 12 million streams, while the singles, including the intoxicating title track and smooth jazz-laced ‘Magnolia,’ proved a hit on the airwaves with support from Radio 1, Radio 2, BBC Introducing, Mi-Soul, Jazz FM, Smooth FM, and many more.
Honey-Coloured was written and named in reflection of Nyah’s race. Within this landscape, she found solace and connection in the music of the likes of Lauryn Hill, D’Angelo, and Estelle and began channeling herself into making her own as soon as she was able to, starting with teaching herself piano at age six and beginning to write songs.
Nyah made a permanent move to the UK in 2018, finishing her schooling and completing her debut record in tandem. “I suddenly found I was at home in the UK,” she says. “It had a pulse that I connected with, so I moved there to finish school and base myself in the musical groove that is everywhere in Manchester, and I love it.”
With the arrival of ‘More’ in 2024, Nyah Grace is destined to cement her name in the neo-soul scene. With an expansion of her sound and rich songwriting beaming with clarity, Nyah is proving she’s truly found home in herself and her music.
‘More’ is available on all digital platforms today (September 6th), along with a Bill Z garage remix and a delicate acoustic version, also out now on DSPs.
