Having released her ‘Truth EP. 1’ record back in March, London-based singer Iyamah makes her return with a track entitled ‘Won’t Work’. Claiming her independence and strength as a woman, the empowering song is backed with head-nodding, jazzy production which compliments Iyamah’s soulful vocals. With an overall message of knowing her worth, ‘Won’t Work’ is a firm statement that she is the ruler of her queendom.

Regarding the single, Iyamah stated:

“At the time, I had no idea what I was thinking when I wrote it,” Iyamah recalls. “It was the quickest song that I ever wrote. I knew I was frustrated, but I didn’t think too much about it. But every time I listened back to the demo, it became very clear to me what this song was about. And every time I sang the song, it gave me this feeling of power that I didn’t realise I needed at the time. A reminder to myself that I have boundaries, and as a woman, there’s great power in being able to say ‘no’, when something doesn’t sit right with you.”
