Taking one for the team, DEJA has made her highly anticipated 2024 return with the release of her brand-new fiery anthem, “Shake That Nyash”. Arriving just in time as we prepare for the summer months, “Shake That Nyash” is an infectious get-up-and-dance spin that’s bound to land a spot in your playlist. Following on from the August release of “Mo Farah” and “Tu Tu” as a part of the MOBO Awards UNSUNG line-up, DEJA is gearing fans up for another exciting year ahead.
Drenched with an unapologetic and fearless energy, “Shake That Nyash” is a playful summer sizzler that’s fit perfect for a girls night out. Built over a rhythmic and percussive production, DEJA’s sultry vocals slice seamlessly through the beat. Shaping the track with her daring lyricism, the songstress continues to prove why she’s in a lane of her own. Pushing female empowerment to the forefront of the single, “Shake That Nyash” is the confidence boost we all needed!
Speaking on the meaning behind the track, DEJA shared, “Shake That Nyash” is exactly what you expect it to be. A bouncy, melodic excuse to shake butt. I wrote this one for the girls, gays and everyone in between to let their hair down to. Full of fun AND power, “Shake That Nyash” sends you bopping the stresses of the week away.”
Reputed for her slick sound that perches between Pop and Afro-Pop, DEJA has built a cult-like following that are eagerly awaiting her next move. The self-proclaimed “Black Pop Powerhouse” has captured global attention with her disputed catalogue. Since emerging in 2017, DEJA has racked up millions of streams across all DSP’s and accumulated a boast-worthy line of support from press and radio. Not one to shy away from breaking the rules and expressing her authentic self, DEJA’s lyrical prowess and integrity has earned her a spot as an artist to watch.
Housing accolades from Wonderland, Notion, Clash Magazine, COLORS, Evening Standard, GUAP, and more alongside support from BBC 1Xtra, BBC Radio 1’s ‘Track of the Week’, Kiss Xtra, BBC Introducing Spotify’s ‘New Music Friday’, not to mention supporting Saint Joshua and Lana Lubany on tour. With a flurry of shows on the way from Glastonbury’s BBC Introducing tent, as well as previous performances as a headline act at Pride Carnival and charting in Iceland (Top 50) for one of her releases, DEJA is on an undeniable journey to the top.
