Vogue
Today [Friday, August 7th], Tiana Major9 – hailed as “a singular
voice in British black soul” by VICE – released her new EP, AT SIXES AND SEVENS via Motown Records.
“To be at Sixes and Sevens means to be at a state of total confusion…Love is confusing,” explains Tiana Major9, who has been giving fans a glimpse into the making of the EP through an autobiographical, four-part miniseries. BEHIND AT THE SIXES AND SEVENS explores the evolution of Tiana, with each episode melodically chronicling the expansion of her sound, artistry, perspective and journeysince signing to Motown.
Praising her as a ‘one to watch’, The Guardian spoke of her “voice that is potent in it’s rich, unfaltering nature’ on her single “‘Think About You (Notion Mix)’ sharing a story of unrequited love, showcasing Tiana’s lyrical
edge and sonically borrowing from her Jamaican background, as she seamlessly interlaces the chill of reggae with the soul of jazz.” AT SIXES
AND SEVENS also includes “Collide,” her collaboration
with EARTHGANG, which has earned over 32 million combined global streams to date. Named as one of the Best R&B Songs of 2019 by VIBE, it was the lead single from the acclaimed Queen & Slim: The Soundtrack. Tiana and EARTHGANG performed the track on the “The
Late Show with Stephen Colbert ,” at the Soul Train Awards ’19 and at Billboard “Women In Music 2019.”
Premiering “Lucky,” another track from the EP, SPIN said,
“The enchanting track…channels the best of early ‘00s R&B: crispy harmonies,
a flex of percussion and a voice we’re glad made its way to the U.S.”
Tiana wrote the song with Jeff “Gitty” Gitelman (J. Cole, H.E.R., Anderson .Paak), who also produced, and PRGRSHN (WSTRN, Stormzy, Wizkid).
Earlier this year, Tiana featured on “Rainfall,” a track
from Stormzy’s new album, Heavy Is The Head, which topped the Official Albums chart in the U.K. A Vevo DSCVR artist, Tiana roots her bold blend of future-facing R&B, enduring soul, and hip-hop attitude in boundless
jazz eloquence twisted up with saucy East London inflection and a touch of Jamaican spirit. Billboard declared, “Tiana Major9 is one to watch in 2020” and Marie Claire said, “the rising songstress is one to watch and take notes from…”
