Aja Maria is an artist from Baltimore with bold aspirations for the next wave of R&B. She’s inspired by a myriad of voices including Anita Baker, Sade, Brandy, and Tank. Her passion for performing runs deep; you can sense it in everything she does. Her new single, “Congratulations”, is a triumphant tribute to love in the many shapes it takes.
“Congratulations” ignites the ear with warm grooves of synth, pulsating percussion, and fierce vocals that drive the track home. Maria sings, “Congratulations, oh baby, you done made it back to the finish line / It’s so amazing, we found a new way to make me fall in love again.” The song celebrates how love always prevails, even over our greatest obstacles.
Opening up about “Congratulations”, Maria confides, “It’s the victory lap of love. The kind that once ran, but feels destined to return. It holds a hopeful, optimistic belief that what’s meant for you will find its way back, stronger and ready to be chosen again.“
Since getting her start on Broadway at age 12, Maria has evolved into the confident musician that she is today. “Congratulations” was produced by the acclaimed King Midas. With her debut album on the horizon, Aja Maria is stepping up to the plate as a heavy hitter for the future of R&B.
