Mýa Unveils Soul-Stirring New Composition "Face to Face" - A Reflective Journey Inward, Arriving May 9

Grammy-winning artist Mýa announces "Face to Face," a poignant new single exploring self-reflection, set for release on May 9 via Planet 9 and Virgin Music Group.

NEW YORK, May 2, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Prepare for a profound musical experience. Grammy Award-winning icon, visionary artist, and wellness advocate Mýa announces the upcoming release of her captivating new composition, "Face to Face," arriving globally on May 9, 2025. Released via her own independent label, Planet 9, in partnership with Virgin Music Group, this piece marks a compelling, reflective moment in her celebrated 27-year journey.

More than just a song, "Face to Face" is a masterfully crafted composition offering Mýa's perspective on her own life's path and rich musical lineage. It's an intimate exploration of self-reflection and spiritual centering, a retrospective requiring courage to discern truth amidst illusion. Produced by the acclaimed team of Lamar "MyGuyMars" Edwards, Mike & Keys, and Mýa herself, the track weaves a soulful tapestry of contemporary R&B and hip-hop textures, thoughtfully nodding to foundational influences like the legendary SOS Band while grounding her firmly in her present evolution. It's a soundscape designed for deep introspection, arriving fittingly during Mental Health Awareness Month.

"Face to Face' is about confronting the person in the mirror, embracing every shade, every truth," Mýa shares. "It's an invitation to quiet the noise, listen deeply, and rediscover the power that resides within our own authenticity. It's finding peace by getting real."

This release underscores Mýa's unwavering commitment to artistic independence and music with substance. Following her recent recognition by Billboard as a "Top Female Artist of the 21st Century," this introspective composition finds Mýa reflecting on her legacy while simultaneously clearing the path for her next creative evolution. "Face to Face" serves as both a powerful statement of self-awareness and a subtle bridge, laying the authentic groundwork for the anticipated new musical chapter she will unveil later this year.

ABOUT MÝA: Mýa is a Grammy Award-winning artist and multi-platinum performer whose vibrant career spans more than 25 years. Since her 1998 debut, the Washington, D.C. native has built an unshakable legacy in R&B and pop music with a string of hits and cultural moments. Early in her career, Mýa released a trio of best-selling albums (Mýa, Fear of Flying, Moodring) that yielded classic singles like "It's All About Me," "Case of the Ex," and the Grammy-winning #1 collaboration "Lady Marmalade." She has since independently released several acclaimed projects (via her own Planet 9 imprint), earned a 2016 Grammy nomination for Smoove Jones, and expanded her talents into acting and philanthropy – including a Screen Actors Guild Award-winning role as part of the ensemble cast in the Academy Award-winning film Chicago, and advocacy for animal welfare. In 2025, Mýa's enduring success and influence were reaffirmed when Billboard named her one of the "Top Female Artists of the 21st Century". This honor, which coincided with the 25th anniversary of her debut, underscores the breadth of her impact on the music industry. With over two decades of hits, a proven track record of artistic evolution, and a passionate global fanbase, Mýa stands as a testament to longevity and female empowerment in music. Her ever-growing list of accolades and her Billboard Top Female Artists honor solidify her status as an icon of the 21st century's music landscape.

That dress screams 2013.

The whole single cover I don't like and I'm cringing at the description of this song, but let's see how it sounds.
I'm glad it seems like she's partnering with a label though so maybe there's a budget and some good promotion coming

Yeah the cover is a no for me. Hopefully, the music is good. It's suppose to be her "best work." We'll see. I did enjoy Anytime though but I'm ready for her to give us a bit of bounce and bops. It's like she doesn't want to do uptempo music anymore. She's been with Virgin Music for a while. I noticed she followed them a while back.

I didn't think no one would care tbh. 😂

Her and MyGuyMars do great work together. He's her musical soulmate/partner and upgrade from Yonni (no shade).

The track is dope though.

It popped up on my Spotify, I kinda gagged when I saw she was the featured artist. She sounds sooo pretty.

SHE sounds really good

Love the message and vibe but this is more of an album cut than single imo. Queen sounds good though.
