Amsterdam riser YOUANDI has merged forces with A2 on standout single ‘eazy’.
Atmospheric and self-indulgent, the track hints towards a darker, more minimal phase of R&B. Shifting between grunge acoustics, swelling synths and hypnotic keys, YOUANDI’s voice flutters over the production effortlessly, starkly contrasting against A2’s disorientating and cutting verse . The two combine with a haunting yet captivating energy, serving as an introduction to YOUANDI’s debut album ‘isaidtome’.
Born and raised in the Netherlands, the singer-songwriter creates music that reflects on her mixed heritage from South America to Europe. Marking her debut with 2018’s Wy’, the artist has consistently focussed on a more subtle, spacious production that spotlights her intricate tones. Experimenting with a delivery that is equally intimate yet distant, ‘isaidtome’ sees the artist look inwards, taking listeners on a deeply personal, mood-defining journey.
Speaking on the project, YOUANDI details: “At times, I find myself grappling with the wisdom and messages I missed, making life harder for myself. Yet, the music I’ve written has become a source of crazy beautiful teachings. Although also confusing sometimes since they make me question myself and the nature of things in spirals sometimes but all questions contain great purpose.“
Tune in now.
