Yuna is not quite a household name. But the four letters that label this talented Malaysian songstress are much akin to her musical style: simple packaging that yields mind-blowing, yet subtle and mystifying soul.
The first time I heard Yuna's break-out single "Live Your Life,"-- which is produced by Pharrell Williams-- I couldn't help but turn up the stereo to the delicate, albeit refreshing tune;  a tune that's like a lily pad sitting atop the pond that is popular music today. When I was a turn-of-the-century raver, I would never have imagined that in 2012, I'd be running for cover from the cavalcade of house music that's permeating the music industry today. But here I am, searching for reprieve from EDM in the arms of Yuna's music. And boy, does it feel good! Or perhaps I should say GIRL, does it feel good!
Yuna's sound is one that ranges from an old, yet progressive funky-soul feel to a feel that is more acoustic and folk. Her sound (sometimes reminiscent of Sia) matched with an ethereal, sultry voice, sophisticated string touches and intelligent bass lines are a match made in heaven. Her inspirational, substance-laden lyrics are almost metaphysical in nature. As you bob your head to her quality tracks, you'll find yourself contemplating life, dreams, goals, aspirations, and perhaps even the spell that's been cast on your auditory senses.  
Besides being an acoustic and aural goddess, the beautiful law school graduate/singer-songwriter also co-owns IAMJETFUELshop-- a women's clothing boutique in Selangor, Malaysia. This stunning Scorpio is full of talent, beauty, creativity and grace that I could only hope to emulate.
The Kuala Lumpur native previously released two albums and an EP in Malaysia, and now (after coaxing from American indie music-scenesters) she's brought her sound to the states. She released an EP titled "Decorate" in March of 2011. Her self-titled debut American album was released on April 24, 2012 under FADER.
Here's an added bonus-- check out Yuna's visit to the world-famous, awe-inspiring youngsters of PS22, as they performed "Live Your Life" for her.

Yuna graced the stage at Bonnaroo last week and will be blessing the audience at Lollapalooza this year as well. I, for one, am praying that she makes her way to Las Vegas sometime very soon. That would just be lovely!
