Opya yearns for some of your Good Love in her seductive new single — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
The latest single from the Montreal-based. Armenian-born singer also features smooth singer Naate NK — but the words come straight from Opya’s life. “The lyrics of the song were inspired by my past relationship,” she says. “I had been in the relationship for a year and a half. Needless to say, the relationship ended. Many would say that our relationship seemed perfect. However, there was that lack of spark and love.”
Opya‘s tender, vulnerable vocals and lyrics combine with a smoky rhythm and Naate NK‘s flirtatious braggadocio to make a standout love song. It expresses the desire for love that is true and passionate:
“All day, I’ve been thinking about you
All night, I’ve been awake but don’t want to
You’re the one and only that can
Make me feel this way you’re my man.”
Naate NK is also notable for deftly switching between English and French as he raps, showcasing charm by playing the role of the guy that could give Opya the “good love” she yearns for. Buoying both Opya and Naate NK is a sensual R&B and Afrobeat rhythm that is romantic as well as arousing.
Born and raised in Yerevan, Armenia, Opya got her start as a singer by performing on Broadway from ages 4 to 6. From there, her love of singing and performing grew even as she moved to Montreal. At 16, she started to write her own music and took on her name after coming across the word opia, meaning “the ambiguous intensity of looking someone in the eye, which can feel simultaneously invasive and vulnerable.”
Soon after, Opya collaborated with close friend and beat maker Robert Tuta to write and release the song 3 Shots. In 2021, she released her EP Cloud Nine, which allowed her to establish her sound as an R&B and soul singer.
