One of 2026’s most watched new artists, Traylece NakedHeart, is captivating audiences with her soulful sound, poetic lyricism, and deeply expressive artistry.
Drawing
inspiration from iconic voices such as Lauryn Hill, Jill Scott, and
Erykah Badu, Traylece admires artists known for honesty, individuality,
and fearless storytelling.
Their
influence can be felt in her commitment to emotional depth and lyrical
truth, yet she channels that inspiration through her own lens, creating
music that feels personal, intentional, and distinctly her own.
Rather
than imitation, their legacy encourages her to honor authenticity,
embrace vulnerability, and remain grounded in storytelling rooted in
real life.
With
visuals that feel cinematic and music that feels deeply personal,
Traylece is carving out her own lane in R&B and Neo Soul, fearless,
vulnerable, and impossible to ignore.
Her new single, “Paper Plane,” released on February 13, 2026 is now available on all major streaming platforms.
Written
by Traylece NakedHeart and produced by Dezirez, the song explores
desire, autonomy, and the emotional tension between freedom and
consequence.
Born
on the historically rich Lowcountry island of John’s Island, South
Carolina, Traylece was raised among generations of strong, independent
women.
Her journey began with poetry, a private refuge that later evolved into songwriting and music rooted in emotional truth.
The
name NakedHeart reflects her artistic mission: to strip away emotional
armor and offer honesty that connects, heals, and empowers.
