It won't take long after hitting the play button before you'll realize that Freya is something special. Channeling the soulful essence of artists like Jorja Smith, Snoh Aalegra, and Erykah Badu, the East London-based singer effortlessly blends ethereal melodies with raw, heartfelt lyricism. Her music captures the depth of everyday reflections, wrapped in a modern neo-soul sound that is both timeless and refreshingly contemporary.
"I Guess" is her third-only single, but it is a bold statement she's destined for greatness. I love the juxtaposition of the gentleness of her vocals backdropped against forward-thinking futuristic instrumentation.
The song is an absolute dream. Dwelling in the realm of r&b, it explores themes of self-worth, longing, and vulnerability. Woven with intimate lyrics like “I guess I’m not like her, I guess I’m not like them,” the track unravels like a late-night confession, drenched in longing and remorse.
"I Guess" will be part of Freya Leiya's upcoming EP, so make sure you keep an eye on her.
