WAYI – Chill (Spotify)
“Meditative, kind of entering into trance rhythm and melody of Neo-Soul and R & B. Delivery of great pleasure from the right tempo and velvet vocals. Kaleidoscope of sound colours which create a joyful atmosphere for every listener.”
“Медитативные, своего рода вводящие в транс ритм и мелодия Neo-Soul и R&B доставляют огромное удовольствие уместной сменой темпа и бархатным вокалом. Калейдоскоп звуковых оттенков и тональностей, обволакивающая слушателя атмосфера.”

Belgium-based artist WAYI [wa-yee] is no stranger to creating music with passion-filled R&B grooves. Now WAYI unveils her sultry new track ‘Chill’. With lustrous vocals and sublime harmonies that layer tantalising instrumentation and a swaying rhythm, ‘Chill’ is an enticing R&B track not to be missed. The track comes on the back of ‘Mind Mazes’ (#1 in Ultratip charts & Top 10 R&B Hip-Hop charts) and ‘What I Want’ that followed her debut EP ‘Love in Progress’ released in 2019.
WAYI on what inspired the track: “You’ll mostly find me in my sweatpants and a T-shirt. However, I love dressing up with heels, accessories, wear make-up, look cute. With ‘Chill’ I wanted to write about and show that side, a more sensual & sexy WAYI. I guess that’s the dual personality of a Gemini.“
The songstress has been invited to open for the legendary Raphael Saadiq, while also enchanting Sir Elton John and respected media outlets such as Earmilk, Refinery29, ELLE, High Snobiety and many more. WAYI has also already culminated a staggering 1.2 million streams across platforms and garnered radio support from the likes of BBC Radio 1Xtra, confirming her status as a rising star.
Writing songs that come from the soul, WAYI’s authenticism shines through in the open and honest sounds and words that come naturally to her. Evoking emotion with her music is extremely important to WAYI, determined to create songs that connect with the listener, as her favourite music has done for her.
