Atlanta artist Vayda shares new mixtape ‘Forrest Gump’ + “needu” video

Vayda, the critically–acclaimed Atlanta artist has just shared her new mixtape Forrest Gump, along with a new video for “needu”. Backed by the singles “adele” and “hood zendaya”, Forrest Gumpeffectively continues Vayda‘s streak as a driving force in the mash-up of various internet sounds and sub genres. Continuing to embrace the DIY sound by pulling from genres like Jersey club and dance/electronic to create a wave of groovy, forward-thinking music, she’s already been championed by the likes of GRAMMY.com, The FADER, Pitchfork, AJC and Passion of the Weiss. With the majority of her songs clocking in well under two minutes, Vaydacreates a sound that’s free of regionality and instead embraces the chaotic yet progressive culture of the ever-changing music world. Backed by consistently lush production that usually comes complete with bouncy drums or ethereal synth lines, Vayda raps with an easy-flowing demeanor, diving into her most intimate thoughts with quirky wordplay. Her new mixtape Forrest Gump finds her rapping over an eclectic batch of beats that are consistently distorted and ethereal. Vayda recently wrapped up performing as an opener for Veeze on his sold-out Ganger Tour, and Forrest Gump caps off Vayda‘s knack for pushing the boundaries of genre and embracing the truly DIY ethos.

Vayda kicked off 2023 by dropping her danceable shade EP, and has consistently kept her foot on the gas with other short yet eclectic releases like “Sprite” (feat. Noah Salem), “TWEAKER” and her dawn EP. As the trends of sped-up tracks continue to become more and more prominent within the music industry, Vayda is proving to be right at home among internet experimentations and genre-pushing sounds – she’s been honing in on these characteristics ever since the start of her career. As she continues to contribute to her impressive string of singles and EPs, Vayda’s new project Forrest Gump is out now with features from Nedarb, Noah Salem, Rxlvnd and Brent Rambo – closing out her breakthrough year.
