WHAT IT IS: Growing up in a religious Jamaican household, Tiana Major9 was surrounded by a variety of music ranging from gospel and reggae to garage. Now, she’s letting her soul-inspired melodies shine through on her latest single, “Think About You” (Notion Mix). The track is the breakout star’s first solo release since inking to Motown/Capitol and follows “Collide,” her collaboration with EARTHGANG from Queen & Slim: The Soundtrack. Her impassioned, infectious vocals exude raw longing alongside simmering reggae grooves on Notion’s dance remix of the track, the first single off Tiana’s upcoming EP. The singer/songwriter roots her bold blend of future-facing R&B, enduring soul and hip-hop attitude in boundless jazz eloquence, twisted up with saucy East London inflection and a touch of Jamaican spirit.
