Sometimes the best discoveries happen by accident. This pretense describes my recent introduction to the incredibly gifted vocal abilities of Atlanta based artist YANG. Her latest release, “Therapy,” combines sultry R&B ballads and razor-sharp spoken word that will make any disciple of the church of Baduizm smile.
YANG’s brand new single, released a mere three days ago (June 5), showcases her talent in full bloom. The smooth R&B slow jam begins with her silk-draped vocals atop bass-driven production. Chronicling her growing frustrations with the fake elements of life, YANG pleads her need to flee. The record’s theme of self-prioritization is hypnotic in its performance, walking listeners through a medley of harmonization that floats you into another realm. One of the song’s most charming qualities is YANG’s ability to swoon us with her scat-singing, creating a weightless atmosphere that feels reminiscent of a lullaby. It’s evident the gifted vocalist is singing from the soul, utilizing the record as actual therapy, a message that can be felt by anyone who listens.
This is YANG’s most recent single to date since releasing her song, “Better,” in August. There is no denying the talent of the fairly new act who will surely be gracing our pages as she continues to bless us with new music.
