Pop production duo aboutagirl has teamed up with LA-based singer Emir Taha on their new single ‘Deep Sea Diving.’ It’s a song which is bound to make Emir’s career even bigger, with its nostalgic sound reminiscent of DJ Scratch’s production on Busta Rhymes’ 1998 hit single ‘Gimme Some More,’ as well as its’ current Trap vibes. The song, unpredictably, rests at verse 2 via a softly played acoustic guitar, nicely leading us into a softer second chorus, alongside Emir’s Bruno Mars-esque tone, which at times delivers a captivating, intense vibrato.

In short, the song is an understated moment, which…

Her new single ‘Get It Right’ is an alternative, mid-tempo trap tune, with some tropical house influence via an Arabic-sounding melody performed using very current, mainstream synths.

With solid singles like this, produced by duo Banx & Ranx (Dua Lipa, Sean Paul, Jhene Aiko, Yxng Bane) Naya has the evident potential to follow…
