MUSICIANS TO KNOW: NYALLAH

Photography by Nabila Wirakusumah

NYALLAH is known for blending elements of neo-soul, R&B, hip-hop, and West African rhythms while exploring themes of self-expansion, transformation, and love. With their latest project, R+B, recorded in phases spanning a near-death bike accident and an eye-opening trip to Costa Rica, R+B navigates relationships, desirability, and self-awareness from a black queer perspective. Through enchanting vocals and vulnerable lyrics, NYALLAH reminds us that desirability is not love and our liberation lies in de-centering ourselves and prioritizing collective care.

The day of Amindi’s show at Baby’s All Right it was raining. Not terribly, but in between scattered showers the air remained damp and misty. Still, as soon as we were admitted into the venue and met Amindi, she gave us a hug, paying no mind to our wet coats and barely folded umbrellas. There was an immediate warmth in her that comes from a place of deep self-assurance.
