Daya is the debut extended play (EP) by American singer Daya. It was released on September 4, 2015, through Artbeatz, Z Entertainment, and RED Distribution.[1] The EP was made available to stream one day before its release on Billboard.[2] A physical version of the EP was released exclusively to Target on October 30, 2015.[3]

Critical reception

Matt Collar of AllMusic stated, "The debut EP from Grace Tandon aka Daya showcases the Pittsburgh native's bright, soulful vocals and electronic-tinged sound. Though only 16 years old at the time of the EP's release, Daya commands the mike with a highly resonant vocal style that fits nicely next to more established R&B artists like Beyoncé, as well as similarly inclined contemporaries like Lorde. Working with producer and songwriter Gino Barletta, Daya delivers a handful of empowering, passionate anthems that also work well on the dance floor."[4]

Singles

"Hide Away" was released as the lead single from the EP on April 22, 2015.[5] It has since peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100.[6]

"Sit Still, Look Pretty" was confirmed by Daya on Twitter as the second single from the EP.[7] It was released to contemporary hit radio on March 29, 2016.[8]
