Grammy-winning artist Mýa has released her tenth studio album, "Retrospect," a vibrant collection channeling '70s and '80s funk and soul. This release marks nearly 18 years since she embarked on an independent music career.

The singer recently performed at the 2026 Essence Black Women In Hollywood Awards and is scheduled for summer performances to promote her new project.

Mýa adheres to a strict vegan lifestyle, even while touring. She prioritizes whole foods and prepares her own meals, stating that her commitment is a "spiritual choice for life." Her dedication to disciplined performance and maintaining her health regimen is noted by audiences who praise her longevity and stage presence.
