The nymphs and mermaids in the feminist strip club of my imagination are pole dancing to “lydia” by Nenci, a down-tempo, undulating R&B track from the Oakland-based, Vallejo-raised artist.

It’s everything. It was something that was really innate that I never had to question. Since I was a child I always expressed myself through singing even when I didn’t know how to articulate why I did that.

Queer, nonbinary singer-songwriter nenci recently released two brand new singles focusing on queer love and putting yourself out there.

'Lydia' is the named depiction of a lover both potential and remembered. The song plays across timelines of imagining pursuing a queer love through anticipation and memories between nenci and Lydia. The song is a snapshot of the things that go through nenci’s
mind of the life of Lydia.

There are very few Artists nowadays that break the mould. Nenci is one of these rarities. Her vocals draw in the essence of Aaliyah and the rawness of Bon Iver - delivering stunning performances with a proven ability to captivate the mood of any song.

Queer Vietnamese-American singer-songwriter nenci premiere’s her soulful R&B jam ‘Underneath The Moon’. Described by the Oakland-based artist as “the ideation of queer romance”, the complex single projects the love surrounding nenci’s interest, Lydia.

nenci, a queer Vietnamese-American songwriter from Vallejo, California, will release two new tracks next week in collaboration with Leviathe.
