This Friday, we are welcoming R&B artist Yaya Bey for their first Free At Noon here at WXPN in anticipation of Fidelity, Bey’s seventh studio album.

Fidelity is due out April 17 on drink sum wtr and will mark her second studio album in less than a year’s time. Bey teased Fidelity with the singles “Blue,” which boasts more than a quarter million Spotify streams after being released Feb. 18, and the reggae-tinged “Egyptian Musk,” featuring Jamaican-American artist NESTA.

Secure your spot at this week’s Free At Noon online here.

Can’t make it? We will be hosting a livestream of Bey’s performance on this same page, so if you want to catch her set but are unable to get to WXPN, check back here at noon Friday.

Bey spoke with World Cafe host Raina Douris back in November 2025 about her last album, do it afraid, which dropped in June last year. Listen to that discussion here.
