SUPERFREAK is a seductive and passionate song about letting your guard down and losing control by Toronto-based dark pop artist Saya. In “SUPERFREAK,” Saya is enamored with someone who brings out the thrill seeking, rush chasing side of her — an adrenaline rush in a song. The title and theme were directly by Rick James “Super Freak,” adding in nods to Michael Jackson’s “Dirty Diana” as well. Co-written with Alexandra Sou and producer Jordan Lewis, “SUPERFREAK” is Saya at her most sultry and infectious.
After parting ways with a major label, music became a challenge for Saya, feeling discouraged and uninspired. After a year of trial and error, taking time to herself, finding a new producer (Damian Birdsey), and teaming up with long-time friend/writing partner Alexandra Sou, the lead single “SICK” was created and her love for creating was reignited.
Her EP sees Saya’s triumphantly returning to music and more confident than ever. READY TO BURN is due out 2022 and continues the themes of Saya reclaiming her power, pushing the boundaries of genre, and breaking out of the projections previously placed upon her. After everything she’s been through, one thing remains clear: Saya is here to stay.
