Brooklyn-based r&b artist Sedona will blow your mind, and I couldn't be more confident in that statement.

Her new single, "BRAID YOUR HAIR", is a rare mix of confidence and vulnerability. A mix that's extremely hard to bottle in just 3 minutes and 28 seconds. The beat, produced by her and long-term collaborators Sekou Shore and Ham Van Dam, carried a laid-back, yet lowkey dope energy thanks to the trap-flavoured elements. A perfect stage for Sedona to explore themes of dynamic and complicated relationships between people and the intoxicating feeling of chaing someone. I appreciate her ability to create a blend of euphoric harmonies with tight, smooth bars that lurk here and there. She elaborates, "It's the feeling of chasing someone or something that you’ll never catch. It's a promise of devotion when you don't know yet if it's deserved”.

At just 24 years old, I think we're witnessing someone who is yet to carve a special place in the alt r&b scene. She bridges legacy and innovation, crafting sounds that feel timeless yet wholly her own. More than music, she builds worlds spaces where softness meets depth, and listeners feel at home.
