Sign me up. Loved the first record, and this song is terrific.

 

Oh shit can’t wait

 

This album is fucking incredible and everyone should be talking about it. Can't wait to hear what @cshadows2887 thinks.

 

Very excited to sit down with this. She’s also on Nicole Byer’s podcast this week which should be a good listen

 

Some just jaw-dropping vocal performances on this record. Particularly impressed by “Whatever You Want,” “Starlight,” and the title track.

 

Excited to check this out. Liked the last one a lot and had no idea there was a new one on the way

 

I liked the first one a lot, but I think this is a pretty sizable step up. Feels like she gets to let loose a bit more, both vocally and in terms of hopping genres throughout, and the resulting album feels like it has more consistency and pacing than the debut.

 

Oh man this is so, so good. If anyone has the liner notes and can tell me who filled out the band that'd be dope. Absolutely fantastic sounding record and she sings her face off

 

I've been meaning to get out to my local record store and pick up a copy. Might have time to do that tomorrow, so I'll let you know if so.

 

Absolutely thrilled you knew I was basically just asking you

 

Haha, I love it.

Any specific highlights that struck you on your first time through?

 

Discogs has all of the credits listed fyi

Yola (4) - Stand For Myself

 

In case you still wanted to see all this!

 

I haven't found time to listen to this one yet, but I'm definitely interested in whether it lives up to her hype as an artist.

 

It’s incredible.

 

Weird, it wasn’t updated yet when I checked. Thanks!

 

I slept on this other than having “Dancing Away In Tears” on my playlist I listen to most but I came back to it on a whim today and it’s sooooo good
