The Queen Returns: Princess Nyah’s Phoenix Moment with “My Power”
-
- 25/06/2025
From the streets of London to the spiritual awakening in Ghana, Princess Nyah emerges stronger than ever with her most personal release yet.
In a music industry obsessed with youth and instant gratification, Princess Nyah stands as a testament to the power of evolution, authenticity, and perfect timing. The London based artist, who has been captivating audiences with her unique blend of hip-hop, dancehall, and electronic dance music for over a decade, is experiencing what can only be described as her phoenix moment.
Her latest single, “My Power” , released on May 30th, 2025, is a declaration of independence, a spiritual awakening, and the birth of something entirely new. This marks the inaugural release from her own imprint, Ohemaa Records, a name that carries profound meaning in the Akan language of Ghana, translating to “queen.”
A Journey of Transformation
Princess Nyah’s story reads like a masterclass in resilience. Growing up on hip-hop with strong Jamaican heritage influences, she built her reputation in the UK music scene with hits like “Frontline” which showcased her raw, rebellious spirit and established her as a force to be reckoned with in the underground scene. As a songwriter, singer, and rapper, she’s worked tirelessly to make her name a household one, even expanding into fashion with her clothing line ‘Binghi’s Boutique.’
But success in the traditional sense wasn’t enough for an artist whose soul craved authenticity over accolades. The turning point came during a transformative trip to Ghana in 2024, where she penned ““My Power” – a track that would become both mirror and manifesto.
“This track is my mirror,” Nyah reflects. “I’ve loved. I’ve lost. I’ve broken. But I’ve healed and I’m still standing. You don’t lose yourself in motherhood. You’re reborn.”
The Power of Independence
What sets this release apart is not only the deeply personal nature of the music – it’s the revolutionary approach to how it’s being shared with the world. In an epoch where major label machinery often dictates an artist’s narrative, Princess Nyah has chosen the path less traveled. She’s built her own mailing list, secured her own PR and radio features, and crafted this rollout with the same grassroots spirit that fuelled her breakthrough in 2008.
This independent approach feels both nostalgic and revolutionary. There’s something beautifully full-circle about an artist who once fought to be heard now having complete control over her own voice and vision.
A Sound That Bridges Worlds
“My Power” arrives as a multi-dimensional sonic experience, curated with the expertise of UK music pioneer Marcus Nasty, who A&R’d the remix package. The release showcases Princess Nyah’s versatility across different soundscapes while maintaining the authenticity that has always been her calling card.
DJ Motu’s hard-hitting, funky house mix channels the grit and raw energy of Nyah’s “Frontline” era – unapologetic, rebellious, and designed to move bodies and souls. Meanwhile, Marcus Damon’s rich, soulful Amapiano remix creates space for Nyah’s vocals to soar, demonstrating the range and emotional depth that has evolved in her artistry.
The Ghana Connection
The spiritual awakening that birthed both “My Power” and Ohemaa Records cannot be understated. Ghana inspired a song – it reminded Princess Nyah of who she was at her core. It reconnected her with her heritage, her rhythm, and her purpose in ways that years of industry success hadn’t managed to achieve.
This connection to African roots while maintaining her London identity creates a unique sonic and cultural space that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable. It’s the sound of an artist who has found her centre and is creating from a place of genuine power rather than external validation.
Motherhood as Metamorphosis
Perhaps the most striking aspect of Princess Nyah’s current chapter is her reframing of motherhood – not as something that diminishes an artist, but as a source of profound transformation and strength. At a time when she once feared turning 40, she now sees her power in her scars, her wisdom, and her truth.
This perspective shift is revolutionary in a culture that often views motherhood and artistry as competing forces. Princess Nyah presents them as complementary powers, each feeding and strengthening the other.
The Future of Queendom
Ohemaa Records represents a label, a philosophy, a movement, and a promise. This is a home for authentic sound, truth, and what Princess Nyah calls “queendom.” With promises of surprise collaborations, powerful performances, and the full creative control that comes with independence, this feels like just the beginning.
With 19.4K monthly listeners on Spotify and a career that has spanned collaborations with industry heavyweights, Princess Nyah is positioned not as an emerging artist, but as a veteran stepping fully into her power.
A Voice for the Times
In an industry often criticised for its lack of authenticity, Princess Nyah’s approach feels like a breath of fresh air. There’s no manufactured narrative here, no carefully constructed image designed by committee. Instead, there’s a woman who has lived, learned, and is ready to share her truth on her own terms.
“My Power” arrives at a time when the music industry is grappling with questions of authenticity, independence, and artistic control. Princess Nyah’s journey offers a blueprint for artists who refuse to compromise their vision for commercial success.
The Return of a Queen
As “My Power” continues to find its audience across streaming platforms, one thing becomes clear: this is no comeback, it’s a complete reimagining of what it means to be an artist in the modern music landscape. Princess Nyah has returned not just as a musician, but as a businesswoman, a mother, a queen in the truest sense of the word.
The raw rebellion of her “Frontline” era has evolved into something deeper, a power that comes from knowing exactly who you are and refusing to apologise for it. In a world that often demands artists choose between commercial success and artistic integrity, Princess Nyah has found a third option: complete creative autonomy.
With Ohemaa Records as her vessel and “My Power” as her declaration, Princess Nyah isn’t just rising again – she’s soaring on her own terms, and inviting us all to witness what happens when an artist finally comes home to themselves.
“My Power” is available now on all streaming platforms.
