Okay Kaya

Okay Kaya is the stage name used by Kaya Wilkins, an artist who has more or less perfected the art of bedroom pop with the rich and lush textures she has created. She typically works at mid-tempo with straightforward instrumentation that emphasizes an easy flow. Her lyrics are usually smart and witty with a healthy dose of sarcasm, self-deprecating humor and a lot of emotional honesty. She has a somewhat smoky voice that matches the wistful and intimate feel in her music. Her songs have clear and instantly accessible melodies, though quite a few of her songs tend to stay on the atmospheric side that locks in on an overall mood rather than catchiness of the tune. She occasionally sings in her native Norwegian.
