Watch it below.<\/p>\n \u201cI wrote, recorded, and produced \u2018Stupid Prizes\u2019 all in one sitting, at home late at night in my living room in Brooklyn,\u201d KeiyaA said in a statement. \u201cI sampled Percy Faith, an orchestral composer known for creating rich and luscious scores and show tunes, helping contribute to this classic \u2018American\u2019 sound. I sought out to create this sort of bed of irony, to speak and sing about being miserable on top of this beautiful, dreamy, and romantic music. Which speaks not only to what it can feel like navigating my internal and external worlds, but also what it feels like being a marginalized person in America.\u201d<\/p>\n KeiyaA\u2014a Chicago-born singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer who is now based in New York\u2014released her debut album, Forever, Ya Girl<\/em><\/a>, to great acclaim in 2020.
