keiyaA has shared details of her second album, hooke’s law.

Spanning 19 tracks, it marks her first full-length release since signing to XL Recordings last year. It features recent single ‘stupid prizes’, as well as a new track called ‘take it’, for which you can watch a video below.

In a statement, keiyaA described hooke’s law as “an album about the journey of self love, from an angle that isn’t all affirmations and capitalistic self-care. It’s not a linear story with a moral at the end. It’s more of a cycle, a spiral – it’s Hooke’s law.”

She continued: “With this work I aim to interrogate and embrace anger and conflict, disappointment and dissatisfaction, about not being docile and about rejecting mammyism and traditional expectations of fat black brown and dark skinned women in our communities. I speak about desire and longing, about examining maladaptive tendencies, conflict avoidance – the eternal relationship with the self.”

XL Recordings will release hooke’s law on October 31, 2025.
