Try to define 24-year-old Australian-Zimbabwean musician Tkay Maidza s songs by a single genre and you may come up at a loss for words. But then again, so does she, telling us that her music is simply “alternative of anything.”
“It s alternative pop, alternative, rap, alternative R&B,” she says from her new home in L.A. “It s left of center of anything because I m always looking for something that s new and different and trying to make it my own.”
This week, we sat down with the prolific singer to chat about how moving around as a kid prepared her for touring, how her family s musical interests have influenced her sound, and how she s stayed creative over the last year and a half. It s all part of our guide to new music around the world and you can find Tkay and other incredible female artists on our Spotify playlist.

Charlotte Simpson had been traveling for decades before she took her first solo trip. She had visited all 50 states with her late husband throughout their 31-year marriage, traveled internationally with her daughter, and had adventures with girlfriends. But when no one wanted to go on a trip to Italy with her a few years after her husband died, she set out on her own kicking off a new love for solo travel and the freedom that comes with it. “It was so liberating,” she says. This week, Charlotte, known online as @TravelingBlackWidow, joins us our I Deserve This series, talking about how she prioritizes traveling for herself, what she s learned about being more adventurous later in life, and how social media has influenced her travels.
