Premiere: Black Yaya – ‘When I Paint My Masterpiece’

Cute Bob Dylan cover...

David Ivar is perhaps best known as 50% of cult indie project Herman Dune.

Recently, though, the artist felt himself drawn to classic singer-songwriters, to some great work from the past.

Working under the Black Yaya moniker, the singer unveiled his intriguing self-titled debut album (Clash review HERE) earlier this year.

Currently preparing for a full UK tour, Black Yaya has decided to record a quick version of a keystone track.

Bob Dylan's 'When I Paint My Masterpiece' is given a lilting acoustic-driven overhaul, with the singer belting out those sweetly poetic words – a true ode to the joys of creation.

Check out the video below.
