There’s loads of good new artists about, they’re just hard to find as radio stations only play the hits. Try Stone Foundation, they’re a good new soul band. Aldo listen to Gary Crowley’s show on BBC Radio London on Saturdays at 6 pm (BBC Sounds app). Gary plays all the good stuff from 80s and 90s with a good dollop of new artists. New stuff is hard to find but it’s out there!
@@tomthomassony8607 Absolutely. Dan Auerbach (producer of this album) has brilliant stuff (with the Black Keys as well), John Mayer’s latest album ‘Sob Rock’ has that 80s vibe going, Michael Kiwanuka, or even more ‘modern sounding’ stuff like London Grammar, Agnes Obel, Birdy’s latest album ‘Young Heart’, Ane Brun - “How beauty holds the hands of sorrow”, Laura Mvula - “Pink noise” (very 80s again), Andrew Bird - “My finest work yet”….. need I continue? lol
I found out about Yola about two hours ago and I am DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE. Her voice is so rich and has such drive. She's incredible. Can you imagine her singing the theme for whatever James Bond movie comes after No Time To Die? :D :D :D
Just discovered this gorgeous song and singer on Graham Norton Shiw. I hear Any Winehouse meets Gabrielle meets Michael Kiwanuka meets Bread (1970s, yes I am that vintage). Anyone else hear these or other influences?
Just like listening to a classic soul tune from the heyday of soul music. She sings with depth, feeling and conviction with a natural voice that pulls you in. I'd not heard of Yola yesterday... but I know I'll be hearing a lot more of her tomorrow 😍
I’ve listened to all types of music in my life ranging from Mozart to Bowie…..but I still get goosebumps listening to Yola……couple that with watching her videos makes me think she has one of the purist voices and tone in her field…amazing acoustics and I congratulate your amazing gift…… your are the voice of the moment
Same here. Was just sitting at my computer on a Friday night reading about disasters cross the world, and suddenly in the background, on late night PBS, I hear this rich, resonating voice singing some country selection, and I just had to turn and see where it was coming from. Best voice I've heard in ages, but since I tuned in after it started and didn't pay attention at first, I didn't catch the name. Then I noticed the name "Yola" on the drums and had to look it up. I rarely buy music anymore because I hate the yowling and screaming many call music, but this lady is now on my list.
This song legit almost made me cry. It has the sound i grew up hearing on the radio in the kitchen in the am. I'd hear it from my bedroom and walk around the corner from the hall... and there was grandma. Grapefruit cut in half with a spoon in it and sugar across the top.... and a hot pot of folgers on the counter. It sounds lame but this has that "Light 100.5" easy rock vibe. I can hear Barbra Streisand singing this.... or Marvin Gaye.....
If an artist can capture the 80s vibe and perform a song with passion like Yola, then they're already a success. She hits all the right notes and it's a guaranteed repeat song.
Black girls have so much soul in their hearts and Yola's voice just does it for me. I'm glad her raw talent is getting the exposure she needs to cast her into the limelight where she definitely deserves to be. After a manic couple of years of muzzled nonsense in our lives, how refreshing it is to hear some sweet new music from a talent like Yola. The best of luck with your music girl. Gav$Gang in Scotland.
It’s taken me a week to find out who this was after hearing it so many times on BBC R2. I’ve listened to it about 100 times since I found it on here. What a TUNE!!!
If i hear something I like on radio 2 , as i did with this , and now can listen again! I immediately go to their website - find the show and scroll down the ' music played ' section until I find the name of the song !!
I'm with you Denett!! What a fantastic performance on Graham Norton ! What a voice, what perfect lyrics!! Makes me feel alive! Yola is well and truly here!!
I usually never leave comments an am nearly never impressed, but I have to say Yola's voice blew me away. Came across her singing on PBS and had to find a place to leave a positive comment. What incredible talent.
I've been listening to her new album, I'm hearing shades of Dusty Springfield, Carly Simon type lyrics, some Amy Winehouse influences all with a country twist and a beautiful soulful voice .. Absolutely gorgeous album.
I also discovered Yola through Radio 2. Thank god for a station that plays such an eclectic range. Yola has such a smokey, soulful voice with songs the stem to have a 60s/70s vibe.
Haven't heard anything from Yola in a long time and thought I would look her up here on You Tube and ran across this. I wasn't disappointed. A wonderful talent who should be better known here in USA than she is.
I'm so in love with YOLA .from the moment I heard her on NPR.. such a special female voice, soulful, unique , speaks from her heart, and such power! I turn everyone I know on to her ! She's such an amazing female artist ... I look forward to hearing more... from her. .
I saw her in Houston with Chris Stapleton. I dreaded this show as I don’t typically listen to country. But as great as Chris and Jamey Johnson were, Yola blew them away. Listened to her on iTunes all the way back home to Baton Rouge. Very ‘70’s!
Not the style of music I would normally listen to, but I heard it on BBCRadio2 and I am obsessed! Yola has a really great voice and the song is perfect for the hot summery weather we have been having this week.
I was drawn in by Yola's amazing voice, seeing her on The Graham Norton show. Its been a long time since an artist made me want to see them live, but Yola has that affect. I have listened to this song countless times now and never get bored of it. "I'll sip my wine while I wait, don't be late"...Love it!
Refreshing to hear a REAL SINGER for a change. Yola is an incredible talent and she deserves massive recognition! The English 'Aretha'; I hope she wouldn't mind the comparison but, I think it's a fair one to make. Good luck and further success to you, Yola.
On the bases of the first few lines of this song, I just ordered a copy of 2 of her CD's! The tone, depth, range & grit that gave me chills. I can't wait to hear the rest of her songs. Gives me some Ledisi/Angie Stone/Jill Scott vibes.

Just listened to this song for the first time yesterday. A brilliant song. One of my favourites for 2021. One of this "What if" and "In a rightful world this would have been a hit" songs.♥️it!
I heard this song on a RUclips and and actually watched the ad. I was enthralled but right as the song was ending my husband hit the skip button! I did get the her name!!! Ughhh! That was well over a year ago. Fast forward to today. To my great surprise, I saw a quick segment that Yola is being recognized at the AMA awards!! I went “OHHH!! THAT’S HER!” That’s want good music does to you. You’ll remember it even years later! And here I am!! I am now a fan!!
Yola gurrrrl this whole album is 🔥😩 country, soul and timeless just like walk through fire but more experimental and I’m here for it! So excited for this new era 🤍
I heard this by coincidence on a dutch jazz/soul station - amazing! I had to search for this here. I love it 💖💖. Can't stop listening to this. I melt 🤩

The world needs music like this ..
Came here after hearing this song on Graham Norton. Simply the most gorgeous song I've heard in a long time. This song is everything x
Same 😁 downloaded straight away 😉
Same here , totally agree , the song blew me away 🙂
Came here to say the same thing
Saw her on graham Norton and went right you tube after. She actually sings! No lip sync,no auto tune AMAZING!
Just heard this on Graham Norton tonight too and Yola was amazing
I have the show on DVR I am saving it
Nearly 50 and think new music is dead to me.Then Yola comes along with this :)
I’m with you .. blew me away
@@michelehaslam2553 I'm 67 Michele and think she is wonderful.

Help, I need an intervention. I can't stop playing this song over and over again
first time i heard Yola singing went right out bought the vinyl album. best voice to come out of the UK for decades
Easy Eye Sound
Dont forget Amy!

I found out about Yola about two hours ago and I am DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE. Her voice is so rich and has such drive. She's incredible. Can you imagine her singing the theme for whatever James Bond movie comes after No Time To Die? :D :D :D
My brother sent me this song TODAY and I've lost track how many times I've listened to it already.
I think she's as good as Adele, or even better! Reminds me early Adele when she still has her soul groove on.
LITERALLY the same for me. JUST WOW.
Loving this track, kind of mix of Anastasia and Macy Grey.
Yep! I'm falling down the hole as well!
Love her voice! This woman is a star!
Don't state the obvious!😃
Is she preparing sth new???
When you don't have to get explicit to convey what everyone knows you're talkin about is a miracle in 2021
Easily the best tune to come out of 2021, an absolute banger
This woman is absolutely fantastic. I hope she has a fantastic career and keeps producing amazing songs like this!

Great 80's soul vibe, can't believe how much she sounds like Gabrielle, going to be a big star if she keeps producing music of this quality

Congratulations for yet another Grammy nomination miss Yola 💜
Heard her today on Ken Bruce Radio 2 - had to listen more, she is just fabulous.
And I'm 62. Still groovin'!!!
Voices like this don't come around often enough.. Lady you are a Super Star

I've just heard this played on Radio 2, At first I thought it was Gabrielle. I love this song, great voice too. A new one for my playlist.
Haha I heard it on radio 2 too and had to find out who it was
@@Stupoider it's this week's record of the week on radio 2, just listening to it at 10.30am. Great song 👌
@@JoJo-xz6fw I heard it on radio2 also
Yep...same! What a hook, heard it somewhere before though!

Blown away by this lady! Tracy Chapman meets Joan Armatrading!
Good comparison!
never thought about that but it makes sense two of my favorites and I do see the similarity.
I love the retro vibe, Yola hits every single time ✨
omg YESSS she is so good!!!!!
I usually never leave comments an am nearly never impressed, but I have to say Yola's voice blew me away. Came across her singing on PBS and had to find a place to leave a positive comment. What incredible talent.
PREACH!!!
What an amazing voice and what a totally original smokey, bluesy, country vibe too!
Goosebumps watching this video !!!!
I've been listening to her new album, I'm hearing shades of Dusty Springfield, Carly Simon type lyrics, some Amy Winehouse influences all with a country twist and a beautiful soulful voice .. Absolutely gorgeous album.
I hear Aretha, too.
Between this and "Diamond Studded Shoes" I fully expect Yola will be massively successful soon. Talent and skill like this can't be denied
At 64 I'm not a great lover of modern music but this is exceptional. Love it.
I also discovered Yola through Radio 2. Thank god for a station that plays such an eclectic range. Yola has such a smokey, soulful voice with songs the stem to have a 60s/70s vibe.
Oh my - beautiful 🤩 sound. Restored my faith in that legendary Soul Sound

Lyrics: I've been trying to hide it
Trying hard to deny it
I've been thinking 'bout how it's gonna go down, go down
Spent a lifetime without it
Trying hard not to even think about it
I'll listen alone, but I don't hear a sound (a sound)
A sound (a sound)
Because in my mind, I'm seeing starlight
One more time for my imagination
I'm not high, don't let me be misunderstood
I've been thinkin' 'bout your kissin'
Lord knows what I've been missin'
You're the only one who could put me in such a state, a state
Never take your love for granted
I'll be waiting on you just like we planned it
Taking your time, and I'll sip my wine while I wait
Don't be late
Because in my mind, I'm seeing starlight
One more time for my imagination
I'm not high, don't let me be misunderstood
Like we should
I've been trying to hide it
Trying hard to deny it
I've been thinking 'bout how it's gonna go down, go down
Because in my mind, I'm seeing starlight
One more time for my imagination
I'm not high, don't let me be misunderstood
Because in my mind, we are together
All the time, even the cloudy weather
Ain't no crime, sometimes we just wanna feel good
Like we should
Like we should
