keiyaA at The Masquerade

CRITIC'S PICK
Sat. Jun. 27

keiyaA, Ruqiyah, Altar at The Masquerade - Although the title of her album is inspired by 17th-century British physicist Robert Hooke's empirical law about force and springs, keiyaA's latest studio album, "hooke's law," thankfully requires no preliminary understanding of physics. Dive headfirst into the Chicago-born artist's sophomore album, and you'll be thrust into an enthralling and glitchy jazz soundscape that demands multiple listens. Adding to the allure of "hooke's lawn," keiyaA serves not only as a performer and songwriter on the record, but also as a producer, flautist, pianist, and saxophonist. Hear the album live for yourself when the experimental multi-hyphenate hit the Masquerade's newest venue with the help of Atlanta-based rockstar Ruqiyah. - joshua robinson
