I first crossed paths with the rising pop stars' music in March 2013 when I heard her collaborative track 'Lullabies' with Montreal DJ Adventure Club. I was instantly captivated by the beautiful song, and have since kept a close eye on her rapid growth as a top 40 force to be reckoned with. 'Nocturnal' captures your attention at once. 'Falling' plays right into Yuna's strengths; it blends her smooth vocals with pop/indie beats that take you for a roller coaster ride through melodies you wouldn't imagine together- but Yuna makes it work. 'Rescue' takes upbeat to a whole new level. This radio-ready track brings me back to songs I used to love in the 90′s, but with a clean production that can be heard throughout the record. My lesser favorites include 'Lovely Intermission', 'I Want You Back', 'Escape', and 'Hanging On'. Granted, these four tracks are quite beautiful and still feature all the things that make Yuna such a unique songstress, but their slightly offbeat tempos and varying genres (some go so far as playing on the Blues genre) don't quite fit the rest of the album. They break up the flow of the other songs- which I imagine was probably the purpose- but they kind of ruined the overall indie/folk/pop vibe on the rest of the record for me. I would have preferred hearing them separately, as an EP or another album where she experiments with other various genres. Overall, 'Nocturnal' has it's ups and downs. A couple more standout tracks include 'Mountains', 'I Wanna Go' as well as the finale 'Call Everyone', which is a beautiful piano ballad that highlights Yuna's powerful vocal range. The album is definite proof that she can pretty much sing any darn thing she wants and make it sound fantastic, but hopefully she'll be able to pin down her preferred genre for the next record for a slightly more cohesive final product.

I've never considered myself to be the girl who loves Top 40 music, but even I must admit that over the years, there are some musicians that have really raised the bar. Although I won't always admit it, I'm definitely a closet-top-40 fan, and when I heard that Yuna would be releasing a new record, I jumped at the opportunity to snag a copy for review.| You are subscribed to email updates from Yuna - Google Blog Search To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
