Standing in the Light: Nya Enters Her Most Intentional Phase With New Single "My Tears Grew Roses"

The last time Nya was seen on a global stage was when she transformed from an angel with a wounded heart to a radiant spirit that she was always meant to become, completing a victorious journey from descent to ascendance, from girl to woman. However, behind those angelic wings exists a true artist: a magnetizing presence consisting entirely of raw, unadulterated stardust, fueled by a burning need to impart extremely personal experiences with complete and unrelenting truth and heartfelt intensity. The past twelve months have found the singer, splitting her time between LA and Uruguay, keeping a low profile and a keen focus, developing her unbeatable performance presence, working on and recording her debut full-length LP, and rediscovering her roots in acting.

Already making waves across several projects, she is quickly establishing herself as a force to be reckoned with and is well on her way to becoming an established actress. However, music is, and will always be, her number one passion, and she is determined that the year 2026 is going to be her biggest year yet. Every artist has that moment that defines them—a line in the sand that separates who they were and who they are becoming. For Nya, that line is here. From here, she is going further than ever before, turning pain into purpose, honesty into art, and dreams into reality.

"My Tears Grew Roses" is an all-encompassing, epic ballad born from the corners of Nya’s forthcoming album—a blossoming of poetic, emotional, and powerful texts born from the conviction that "Beauty Comes From Pain". This is, without a doubt, her most impressive showcase of vocal mastery yet. Nya is singing from deep within herself, holding every single one of those lyrics close to her chest before releasing them into the atmosphere as if blowing them into the heavens above. "My Tears Grew Roses" is an exact representation of what she's all about, what she’s been through—that manifesto of an artist rising high, believing in nothing more and nothing less than the power of wings rising high into the sky.

Going out on their first tour is a milestone event for an artist, although it isn’t for every artist. It is often a mentally, physically, and emotionally draining activity, something that is hard to come back from, let alone enjoy. With Nya joining Lindsey Sterling on their US and European Fall Tour last year, Nya got out there, experiencing firsthand the hardships of life on the road. Nevertheless, it gave Nya the strength to push forward because, for her, there was nothing like the power of the performance, the intensity of the limelight, or the strength of the crowd.

The music video put out by Nya for “My Tears Grew Roses” gives the viewer a close, intimate take, like turning pages through Nya’s scrapbook. Each piece, whether it was on or off-stage, is a sharp, nostalgic example of Nya’s whirlwind journey, celebrating her transformative step into becoming something new. With a spark in her eye and her heart beating out its message, it is apparent that Nya is not the artist she was, releasing her first single close to a decade ago. With Nya, there is a new intensity burning within her—a whispered power born out of her learnings and confidence. This is Nya, once reaching out towards the light. This is Nya, now stretching out, blooming gloriously as her new chapter unfurls.
