ARIA & BET nominated rapper and artist Tkay Maidza has announced the highly anticipated follow-up to 2020’s Last Year Was Weird, Vol. 2 (The Needle Drop’s #1 EP of the Year).
Last Year Was Weird, Vol. 3 is the final act of Tkay’s EP trilogy. Featuring eight new songs produced by long-time collaborator Dan Farber, it will be released digitally on 9 July (physical release details coming soon). To coincide, Tkay has dropped the new single ‘Cashmere’ and its dreamy, pollen-filled video directed by Jasper Soloff (Tinashe, DJ Khaled) today. ‘Cashmere’ and its smooth R&B is a satisfying counterbalance to its bombastic predecessors ‘Kim’ and ‘Syrup’

PRAISE FOR ‘KIM’ & ‘SYRUP’
Pitchfork – #2 Best Video of February, Best Songs of the Week for ‘Kim’“Another immaculate banger.”– The Observer on ‘Syrup’“A bassy, brooding track that oozes and entices.”– The Guardian on ‘Syrup’“Another great song. A minimal, subwoofer-rattling song with some mid-2000s Southern rap energy.” – Brooklyn Vegan, Favourite Songs of the Week“‘Syrup’ is every bit as sticky and dirty as the name implies. She sits in a low tone over a filthy beat that feels plucked out of the early 2000s and re-styled with present-day sensibilities.” – Consequence, Song of the Week“She comes with a real Missy Elliott, L’il Kim flow… This goes up to 11 no problem!” – BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac on ‘Syrup’“The sheer star power on display is out of control, the kind of thing that’s sure to have teens 20 years from now screaming, “Bitch I’m Tkay!”” – PAPER Magazine on ‘Kim’
Tkay Maidza recently wrapped a stratospheric 2020 that propelled the Zimbabwe-born, Australia-raised artist to new heights. From billboards in Times Square, to features in Pitchfork and Vogue and a placement on the FIFA Soundtrack, her Last Year Was Weird, Vol. 2 EP presented a compelling new stride for the young artist whose craft spans genres. The ARIA-nominated EP for Best Soul/R&B Release received plaudits from the likes of Pitchfork, Stereogum, Crack, The Guardian and PAPER.
