We’ve been fans of OKAY-KAYA for a minute now, but her stark, melodic style still feels fresh. The Norwegian-born, Brooklyn-based songwriter came through the Airp&p before performing at our No Ceilings show that evening and played a couple of songs.
The first was a cover of Leo Sayer’s “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing.” If you’ve heard the original, you’ll appreciate how much of a flip this is. Kaya turns the disco sunshine on its head and comes away with a beautifully melancholy rework. Watch above, and look out for her second P&P performance later this week.
