Tkay Maidza – “Ring-A-Ling”

Tkay Maidza – “Ring-A-Ling”

Tkay Maidza has announced a new album, Sweet Justice, coming in November. The follow-up to her 2016 self-titled debut (plus a couple of Last Year Was Weird EPs) features the Flume-produced “Silent Assassin,” which dropped earlier in July, plus additional production from Stint and Kaytranada. Today, Tkay is sharing the new single “Ring-A-Ling,” which also has a video directed by Jocelyn Anquetil.

Here’s what Tkay had to say about Sweet Justice, which also has collabs with Lolo Zouaï, Amber Mark, and Duckwrth: “Sweet Justice was a way for me to channel my emotions from what I’ve experienced in the last two years. It’s a diary of things and thoughts I’ve kept to myself. Making the record was a healing experience and I’m grateful to have worked with producers who have inspired me throughout my career.”

She adds of “Ring-A-Ling,” which is produced by Two Fresh: “I wanted to make an empowering song that tells others that my biggest focus are my goals.”
