YOLA

Yola is a brazilian musician and producer based on São Paulo. If we were to define the musical identity of YOLA, the best word that might make sense would be: amalgam. More than a combination, amalgam is a perfect fusion of different things that form a whole, creating a new substance that is complex to categorize. This is the musical identity of this Brazilian producer that has been arousing curious eyes. Fluid as his own emotions, YOLA chose music to express a free, serene and vibrant spirit. With sounds that propagate through softer nuances and find electronic rhythms as the basis for movement, the artist does not label himself to specific genres, but tries different aesthetics that make up his creative palette. Yola debuted on Kindisch's partner label Get Physical Music last year with the single Khulu as part of Dixon’s Track IDs playlist on Spotify, and now he follows it up in superb style. The gorgeous 'Uh, I know' is a late-night house dream with heartbroken chords and a melancholic groove. Scattered hits pepper the spacious drums and the fractured vocal sounds bring a sense of solemn soul. It is a track stuffed with detail that keeps on pulling you in from start to finish. This is a brilliantly original and organic single that tells an emotional story.
