Description

Naya Ali goes deep on We Did The Damn Thing, her new album released on February 7th, 2025. The Montreal artist’s new opus is at once deeply introspective and a wide-eyed embrace of the world. Produced by longtime collaborators Adrian X and Kevin Figs, this sonically adventurous follow-up to her two-part debut Godspeed: Baptism (Prelude), released in 2020, and Godspeed: Elevated (2021) finds her stretching her wings lyrically, vocally and musically.
“We Did The Damn Thing is a celebration—not just of everything I’ve achieved, but of everything we’ve achieved together”, she explains. “As a people, as a community, as a culture, we’ve come so far. Our victories are collective, and the strides we’ve made are monumental.” This album honours that journey and its title says it all : “We Did The Damn Thing”.
