Okay Kaya – “Keep On Pushin'” (Curtis Mayfield Cover) (Prod. Adult Jazz)
Okay Kaya is an NYC-based Norwegian musician with incredible promise. She’s currently working on her debut LP with collaborators including Tobias Jesso Jr and Jamie xx, and in the meantime we can all enjoy the new 7″ she recorded in collaboration with jazzy avant indie-rockers and Band To Watch alumni Adult Jazz. Most recently she shared the B-side, a warm yet eerie deconstructed cover of Curtis Mayfield’s “Keep On Pushin’.” The track will appeal to everyone who loved the Adult Jazz album and many who didn’t, replacing the band’s jittery pathos with a gently swaggering self-assurance. It’s a genuine beauty, so check it out below along with previously released A-side “Durer.”
