""Blue" is the first song I wrote for the album. I wrote it when I was rock bottom coming off the heels of do it afraid. When I realized I had to make a big shift mentally and emotionally or I was gonna drown. The production is really reminiscent of early 2000's Pop/R&B like something red-haired Kelly Rowland would sing over on one of her solo projects. The nostalgia drew me to it. Almost like I'm coaching my younger self through something. Which I guess ultimately I am."

Fidelity arrives April 17 via drink sum wtr as a follow-up to Do It Afraid. The album continues Yaya Bey's blend of R&B, neo-soul, hip hop, reggae, and other influences. The lead single "Blue" taps into early 2000s pop/R&B production and was written at a personal low point as a catalyst for mental and emotional change. The song's nostalgia and production evoke solo-era Kelly Rowland vibes and frame the piece as coaching a younger self. Michael Grant shot the video for "Blue." The album contains 16 tracks and features several guest artists.
