    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. She came at a time when I was looking for a new artist, with a new sound, I heard Ashley Jayy… I was super impressed with her sound and I loved her. Then I was sad because she didn’t have a lot of music out at the time and then I found Yebba, listening to how intentional she makes her notes, how she places her words, and everything is something I cannot put into words. I would love to hear her perform in a play, because her voice and how she chooses to use it tells the story. It’s a gift. It’s like eating a bunch of different food items, but making sure they don’t touch

    Oh my goodness...you confirmed what I was hearing. I said to myself that she was doing something different with her voice and she sounds a lot like Aretha. Good to know I'm not crazy😆

    Many of you probably don’t remember Phoebe Snow, but I hear many similarities between Yebba and Phoebe.

      Heard that exact same influence. Very Pheobe Snow!

      People should listen to Phoebe's "Poetry Man" and they will hear it.
