Time now to talk with one of our best homegrown RNB artists.

Alayna Powley, you'll know her best as just Alayna when she's performing, first appeared on the music scene in 2013 when a YouTube video of her singing Sam Smith's nirvana went viral.

Her debut ep was in 2018 titled Sweet Soul followed by Tender in 2020.

60 million streams later - we are about to get her debut album.

It's been three years in the making but will be released worldwide tomorrow - it's called Self Portrait of a Woman Unravelling and Alayna joined Tim Dower in studio.
