Alternative Pop from JANAYAH

Originally hailing from Auckland in New Zealand and now making an impact in London, JANAYAH is a singer-songwriter whose extraordinary vocals and genre-blending artistic output have marked her as a rising star in the music world. With Polynesian roots and a wealth of experience performing on stages from festivals to screen appearances, JANAYAH has developed a reputation as a must-watch vocalist.

Whether exploring pop, rock or dance music, her commanding stage presence and emotional connection to her music consistently won over live audiences. Having already made a significant mark with collaborations such as the 2021 EDM track “Hanging On” with New Zealand producer and DJ Cymbols and the 2022 release “Remedy” with Lauren Gin, JANAYAH has proven her versatility and ability to cut across different musical landscapes.

Her recent performances, including a tribute to MITS Award winner Lucy Dickins at the British Music Industry Trust Awards and a set at Trafalgar Square during the UEFA Championship, further attest to her status as a performer in demand. Following her October 2023 release, “Nothing To Lose,” a high-energy track with DJ Marcus Wiles and joining the Mastercard Artist Accelerator program for 2024, JANAYAH returns to her roots with her latest single, “Can’t Get Enough.”

This new release marks a departure from her recent dance-focused endeavours, diving headfirst into a powerful blend of rock and soul that showcases the full range of her vocal flair. “Can’t Get Enough” is a thrilling exploration of JANAYAH’s raw and unfiltered musical identity.

Brought in by the instant groove of shuffling drums and lightly gritty guitar rhythms, JANAYAH’s stunning voice enters, first applying hushed tones before rising in intensity to soar above the shifting arrangement. With overlapping layers and the slick ebb and flow of the instrumentation that strips everything back, to then build the track back up as JANAYAH’s vocals fly high above the track.

With intricate plucked instrumental flutters and lead guitar flourishes, she injects tinges of rock crunch while spinning sensational vocal lines above. It’s a spectacular showcase of her vocal range while once again seeing her apply her voice to different styles of music. As she continues to take her first steps as a fully-fledged solo artist, we can’t wait to see what she’s got in store for the rest of 2024 and beyond.
