‘Sweet Justice’ includes the recent Flume-produced single ‘Silent Assassin’, in addition to collaborations with Lolo Zouaï and Amber Mark on ‘Out of Luck’, and Duckwrth on ‘Gone to the West’. With a musical range that is as broad as it is deep, the album is bound to create ripples in the music industry.
In addition to the album announcement, Tkay Maidza has also released a new track, ‘Ring-A-Ling’, accompanied by an official video directed by Jocelyn Anquetil. This new track resonates with empowerment, reverberating Maidza’s mantra for ‘Sweet Justice’: “I’m never choosing compliance.” This defiance echoes in ‘Ring-A-Ling’, a song that manifests Maidza’s dedication to her goals. You can stream ‘Ring-a-Ling’ on all platforms here.
‘Sweet Justice’ is not just another album; it’s a testament to Tkay’s growth, an embodiment of her art’s beautiful contradictions. In her own words, the album is a rebirth, an ode to harnessing the feminine power she has carried within her all along. “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,” Tkay Maidza says.
After a successful trilogy and award wins, Tkay Maidza continues to rise, touring with big names like Billie Eilish and Dua Lipa. With ‘Sweet Justice’, she continues to echo her unique African-Australian experience, crafting a legacy in rhythm and soul.
