Burgeoning R&B singer/songwriter Zyah Belle announces her new album Yam Grier coming in fall 2022 via Guin Records. Along with this exciting announcement, Zyah has unveiled her latest single "Not The One" ft. Tempest, and releases the first episode of her "Road To Yam Grier" docuseries.
Listen to "Not the One" HERE.
Of the album title, Zyah shared, "Yam Grier is representative of a woman that is reclaiming her time, agency over her body and voice through the generations. Inspired by Pam Grier’s fierceness that she emoted in her prominent 70s blaxploitation roles. Yam Grier is the embodiment of a woman who has finally come into her own, unapologetically".
"Not the One" radiates bad b*tch energy and is a continuation of the singer's narrative of self-love. Her confidence shines through witty lyrics overtop an addictive, danceable beat.
"Not the One" follows on the heels of Zyah's previous single "DND", which VIBE praised for its "jazzy instrumentals and an equally soothing tone", adding, "Zyah Belle continues to grow her building R&B/soul empire". Along with dropping "Not the One", Zyah has released her first episode of "Road to Yam Grier" Docuseries. The docuseries goes behind the scenes to see Zyah’s album develop from start to finish. Viewers will learn of Zyah’s inspirations behind her songs, interviews with those that impacted this road for her and the struggles she overcame to get to where she's at.
