Now 10 years into a successful hip-hop career, it's hard to believe that Zimbabwe-born Australian singer, songwriter and rapper Tkay Maidza almost became a professional tennis player. This seductive sophomore album, infused with themes of healing and perseverance, arrives six years after her self-titled debut, and follows the Last Year Was Weird EP trilogy, which acted as a form of physical, mental and spiritual repositioning for Maidza. Now based in L.A., she puts a twist on the classic break-up album. "It was every type of break-up, but also breaking up with the old version of myself," she has had about her journey to discover independence with a sound that is completely authentic to herself.
Sweet Justice delivers Maidza's signature witty lyrics and empowering message but radiates a new kind of confidence. "I took time to really hone my skills, become a better rapper, singer, and that allowed me to have this bucket list of producers that I wanted to work with," she explains, and crosses the likes of Flume ("Silent Assassin") and Kaytranada ("Ghost!", "Our Way") off that list. She also collaborated with singers Amber Mark and Lolo Zouaï on "Out of Luck," and reunites with Duckwrth on "Gone to the West," a playful track that has fun with a sample from Bernard Wright's "Spinnin'," also heard on Skee Lo's "I Wish." The album is unafraid and experimental, flowing from aggressive rap on dance tracks like "Silent Assassin" to the dreamier, more R&B-influenced "WASP" to '90s pop throwbacks in songs such as "Won One," that champion the resilience of women in the music industry. Its atmosphere and infectiousness expand Maidza's rich, edgy universe, which she has carefully crafted with musical collaborators and visual artists alike. Sweet Justice serves an ace that proves revenge, or at least karma, really is a dish best served cold. © Ciara Rivers/Qobuz
