From Indie Spirit by Stevie Robinson Her first solo project starts with “Iwapele” meaning gentle character taken from the Holy African scripture of the Yoruba. A smooth groove that will have you swaying and rocking your neck (that’s right I said your neck) to the music. “Galactic Soul” tells Daya’s story it’s her anthem song. At first listen to “Prelude to a Kiss” I was filled with the joy, hearing this song. And it will surely be known as a classic. It’s that beautiful. It flows right into jazzy smooth flowing “Sweet Kiss.
