AKIA: The steaminess keeps heating up with a fire ‘Pajamas’ visualizer

Need more reasons to lose your mind to R&B baddie AKIA? How about seeing her glowing up in the new ‘Pajamas’ music video? Tough.

It’s all types of jaw-dropping and I can’t get enough. Lose your mind to the visual flexing.

Rising R&B artist AKIA sets the stage for her next chapter with “Pajamas,” a sultry, self-assured new single from her forthcoming EP Crazy, arriving later this summer via SinceThe80s and Human Re Sources. Carried by rich vocals and smooth, unbothered production, the track finds AKIA fully in her element — unforced, magnetic, and in control.

“Pajamas” captures a mood of quiet confidence and intimacy, offering a glimpse into the more nuanced sound and perspective shaping her upcoming project. As with her previous releases, the strength lies in AKIA’s ability to say more with less — her voice and presence doing most of the talking.

The new single follows the breakout success of “DND,” released on March 14, which has already amassed over a million streams across platforms. The track earned AKIA placements on top editorial playlists like R&B Now, Grown N Sexy, Mood., Pillow Talk, Breaking R&B, Tearjerkers, and Fresh Finds R&B, firmly establishing her as a breakout voice in the genre.

Her debut EP DUMB introduced listeners to her emotionally layered songwriting and standout vocal presence. With Crazy, she builds on that momentum, bringing a sharper, more evolved perspective to her storytelling.
