Yaya Bey has announced her new album, Do It Afraid, on April 23, 2025.
Alongside the new album, she has also announced a new 2025 US summer tour, scheduled to be held from September 10, 2025, to September 27, 2025, in venues across cities such as Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and more.
Tickets for the tour will be available from individual venue websites as well as vendors such as Ticketmaster and Tixr. Ticket sales will start on April 25, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. local time.
Each vendor or venue website will have its own checkout procedures for ticket purchasers to follow, but generally, one is required to provide name and other personal details, select the number and category of tickets and make payment to complete purchase.
Yaya Bey announced the album and tour via a post on her official Instagram page, with a press statement briefly talking about the upcoming album:
“I wrote this album from the most vulnerable parts of me, which contrary to what many people want to believe about me, is not my trauma but my desire to love, to feel joy...to be free. In this life, pain and loss are promised to us; it takes real courage to dance in the face of the inevitable."
Yaya Bey continued in her statement:
"To savor the now and make it beautiful. I come from a people who are masters at this. Onlookers like to make a spectacle of us. Rob of us of our nuance. But the truth is we are brave, resilient and joyful. I made this album for us. May we continue to do it afraid.”
