Ayda Rose was raised in a musical household. Her British father is the drummer and singer for DBM&T, one of the biggest acts in 1960s rock. Her mother’s side of the family is mixed Native American and Haitian American, which has shaped and affected her artistic journey thus far.
Ayda Rose epitomises the spirit of perseverance and hard effort in pursuit of one’s goals. She makes a comeback with “Damn,” her sophomore single, which has an emotional and dreamlike quality that will hook listeners from the first note. The R&B production is subtle and slow-burning, with bass, keys, and guitars. Her unique and alluring voice tone, passionate melodies, and the sincere instrumentation combine to give the listener a heartfelt experience.
With her unforgettable vocals, evocative melodies, and moving lyrics, Ayda Rose crafts a distinctive sound in her music. She collaborated closely with popular musician Switch (previously of major lazer) and singer-songwriter Cam Bloomfield in her most open production to date in order to maintain close relationships with her inner group. She describes the project as “soulful with a modern twist, both old school and contemporary,” and she explores real-life love and heartbreak in each song.
Speaking of the track, Ayda Rose comments, “‘Damn’ is a song of heartache and pain, falling in love then longing for someone who isn’t ready. It’s a raw and stripped-back R&B, a personal story of love and loss.”
