NAKAYA Shares “Fire Becomes Me” Single and Music Video via Ones To Watch | ‘Fire Becomes Me’ EP Out April 1 via Better Company Records

“‘Fire Becomes Me’ is a back and forth perspective between my current and past selves. I wrote this as part of a series I ran in 2020 when I felt galvanized by the world’s eyes on Black issues. I attended protests several times a week and wrote what arose within me. I shared the demos on Bandcamp and picked causes to donate proceeds to. To me, this song is about the resilience of the Black community and how in constant adversity, we take the fire and rise like a Phoenix from the ashes.”
