Alanya ft: Carla Prata - My Type (Single)

Alanya: Croydon’s Rising Voice in UK R&B.

Croydon-born singer-songwriter Alanya is making waves with a sound as bold as her storytelling. Blending R&B, Neo-Soul, Afrobeats, and Reggae, her music channels the raw soul of Amy Winehouse while carving a lane entirely her own.

Her latest single My Type—a silky collaboration with Portuguese-Angolan Afrobeats talent Carla Prata—is a soulful summer groove that’s equal parts intimate and empowering. Honest lyrics, smooth delivery, and a breezy bounce make it a playlist essential for warm evenings.

Already behind 1M+ Spotify streams for tracks she’s penned for others (including Celina Sharma’s More Than Friends), Alanya has caught the ear of BBC Introducing and the scrolls of TikTok. With three more singles coming, including the much-teased Situationship, she’s proving that authenticity and genre-blending can be a powerful mix.

Alanya isn’t just one to watch—she’s one to listen to on repeat.
