Yola Instagram - #flashbackfriday 

WOOO HOOO!!!! TODAY’S THE DAY!!! The @elvismovie is out NOW!!! Here’s to #bealestreet and all the good times we had there! We took some snaps during filming so here you go!

It’s my first movie but I’m hoping not my last. What a joy it is to put Elvis’s story in the correct context after all this time. What a joy it is to get to play and get to tell people about #sisterrosettatharpe and her invention of Rock n Roll! What a joy it was also to act alongside all these wonderful actors and under the guiding hand of the wonderful @bazluhrmann. Congrats everyone, especially our lead @austinbutler you smashed it mate! @wbpictures #elvismovie #movie #outnow

Yola Instagram - I’m so excited to share this amazing news with you, as I take on a new starring role! Come join me on this amazing New York journey as I become Hadestown’s Persephone on Broadway starting July 2nd! I’m going to bring a whole new flavour to the part and I’ll let you in on my process too. It all starts here! #hadestown #broadway #newyork
Yola Instagram - I had the honour and privilege of speaking on the enduring genius of #tina with the delightful @willman.chris for @variety! Some of you might know I used to lecture voice science so there are a few high price tips on the voice in this article too as I analyse Tina and pay tribute to an icon. I’m really proud of this piece, so check it out #linkinbio #Repost @willman.chris

Yola spoke with Variety on the genius of Tina Turner, and there was maybe some genius in what she said herself. Link in bio
Yola Instagram - Well look at that! Big love to my dear friends @rollingstone for the recognition of work both musical and non musical! What an awesome line up to be included in. It all takes me back to the before times! 

Your girl was out in these cold a*s streets of a brand new continent like a campaigner, quipping and witting her way around the subjects in press and TV that are now being discussed with profound ease of understanding. Without the boarderline suicidal work tendencies of my publicist Doug (@bigfeatpr) and my gymnastic reframing of conversations that were leading to weird savour narratives that denied the agency of black artists in and around the genre, this here record would have reached fewer ears. Be it vocals or words, it all proved to make enough impact to create space for more! The good sis @rhiannongiddens had done been saying all the things too, when I popped up 2018/19 with this little wonder. Now @beyonce has entered the chat with Rhi on banjo, and we all get to bask in the brilliant rays of “I told you so”! 😁☀️Every one of you following any one of us, every journalist who rated us, and every outlet who featured us in the spotlight and all who continue to support us as we evolve, feel free to be smug for the next year or so 😂!! #countrysoul #top25 #rollingstone #genrefluid #free #music #cowboycarter #beyonce #country #soul #allthemusic

Yola Instagram - Happy Birthday dear @jonimitchell, we love you! It was such a joy to meet Joni and she was such a gracious host and such wonderful company. In this photo Joni said something hilarious that I shan’t repeat, suffice to say she’s not just a genius, but also hilarious! Let’s celebrate her today and every day, for the myriad gifts of song she has bestowed upon us. Many happy returns Joni!! 💜💜💜🥳🥳🥳

Yola Instagram - To the world we dream about— Our new Persephone, Yola, performed an unreleased song of hers titled “Temporary” at the Playbill Pride concert in Times Square on Friday! 🌈
Yola Instagram - I’ve been hinting at a different musical direction for years, because I’ve been wanting to get back to where I started, when I first moved to London. I moved into a hotbed of music that made me, and it’s time I shared that vibe with you. It’s taken a while but finally I can do things my way 💕
Yola Instagram - #throwbackthursday to an iconic performance with the good brother @garyclarkjr

@iamyolaofficial announces the forthcoming release of her musically unbound EP, My Way, released May 24 as well as My Way: An Intimate Tour which will see Yola performing shows in limited capacity sized rooms across selected cities including Racket in New York, The Atlantis in D.C., El Rey in Los Angeles, Terminal West in Atlanta and Basement East in Nashville, with tickets on sale on Friday January 19.

Says Yola: “Welcome to my new era: a utopia of black creativity, freedom and power. I cannot wait for fans to hear my new music – written and conceived in rooms of diversity – inspired by music I’ve long loved from Janet Jackson to Anderson .Paak to Mary J. Blige. I’m taking these new songs on the road to play for fans to hear it first in intimate venues– true fans know I’ve always been genre-fluid, experimenting and reworking my catalogue through live performance to encompass my love of soul, R&B, electronica and beyond. If you’ve seen the shows you already know where this is heading. This new music is the culmination of that work. This project is also born of my desire to surround myself with creatives of color, to express myself on every level of making this music, and finally, to do this all my way.”

Yola Instagram - Hello m’doves - a change of plan to report!

We are also planning to reschedule the Nashville, Atlanta and Los Angeles shows for the same reason. D.C and NYC shows are unaffected. 

Please hold onto your tickets until new dates have been announced. If you cannot attend the new date, refunds are available at point of purchase. 

Sorry for any inconvenience caused but as they say, good things come to those who wait.

Yola Instagram - Swipe and read! Your first instinct would be “why not?” If you don’t consider the context of the last 30 years in the industry. If you don’t know how many people have talked about this look it up it’s mad insidious. 

In my experience I’ve noticed this tactic take multiple forms. 1) An attempt to get elements of our culture out from under the hands of culturally black black people and 2) in the same breath to uplift⚪️ passing black artists or visually less racially ambiguous artists who are not culturally black and centre ⚪️ culture in particular. All forms are a dispossession and subsequent colonisation of cultural resources. 

All forms need our assistance to be successful, so to refuse to play a part is a stand against the same kinda cultural appropriation that means most people still don’t know who Sister Rosetta Tharpe was. They done been doing this for decades! As you can tell by all my interviews during the Elvis movie promo period I was kinda obsessed about trying to correct that omission in American musical history. So if you wonder how it happens when we don’t know why people aren’t celebrated, this is step 1 in a long and storied strategy, and it’s peak coloniser mentality! Separate off one black person, give them wealth/accolades/rewards (for being or agreeing to stoop to being mid AF) so they can benefit from the dispossession of a whole people, sound familiar? #colonisation #culturalappropriation #cultureiswealth #munilong #kwanzaa thanks for this @beingblackislit & @munilong

Yola Instagram - #throwbackthursday to being nominated for an @naacpimageawards for my role as #sisterrosettatharpe last year. An honourable mention should go out to my frankly obsessive and borderline psychotic level of advocacy, that every fan of the #elvismovie should know how significant SRT was to everything in the movie and to contemporary music as a whole! 

What a privilege it was to be so relentless in a plethora of prime time cases. What a joy it was to centre black culture in the moments when I was speaking to people that didn’t, but needed to be. It dawned on me how important it was (and is) to me to not just be physically black so they could see me in these places, but culturally black so they could hear the breadth of our minds in these spaces. 

For my advocacy to be interacting on a level that speaks to the culture and seeks to put it in the spotlight in its entirety and not in piecemeal, was the goal. For my art, I try to reflect my love of it all wholesale, because that is the whole point of being genre fluid. I owe black America my life and sanity, growing up very ethnically isolated in an English village, so this day was a special moment for me that I never dreamed would happen. #gratitude #fortheculture #blackhistorymonth

What a privilege it was to be so relentless in a plethora of prime time cases. What a joy it was to centre black culture in the moments when I was speaking to people that didn’t, but needed to be. It dawned on me how important it was (and is) to me to not just be physically black so they could see me in these places, but culturally black so they could hear the breadth of our minds in these spaces. 

For my advocacy to be interacting on a level that speaks to the culture and seeks to put it in the spotlight in its entirety and not in piecemeal, was the goal. For my art, I try to reflect my love of it all wholesale, because that is the whole point of being genre fluid. I owe black America my life and sanity, growing up very ethnically isolated in an English village, so this day was a special moment for me that I never dreamed would happen. #gratitude #fortheculture #blackhistorymonth

Yola Instagram - Happy #internationalwomensday everyone!!Here’s a #flashbackfriday to a moment on set of the #elvismovie as my forever hero #sisterrosettatharpe! Here’s to all the women who pioneer sound, who do not stay in their lane and push the boundaries of art! I believe it is a truly feminist act to be unapologetic in our pursuit of excellence and to take up space physically and figuratively. Sending out love to all the women that dare to be different and walk the path less traveled! #theroadlesstraveled #blackexcellence #womenshistorymonth 📸 by @altonmason
Yola Instagram - Did you know this? This had been on my mind a while now. The anti- blackness of anti-fat bias is wild and so insidious! Think about how easy it is to disguise a disdain for fat people (especially femmes) in plain sight. It’s something that is less prevalent in black culture (though not absent because the programming of Eurocentrism still permeates black and brown minds too). It’s useful to know the cause especially if it turns up as unconscious bias! #fatphobia #colonialism #racism #programming #bias

Yola Instagram - Hey m’doves!! Thank you for showing my new EP so much love, it means so much more to me than just knowing you like my music. It means you like where I’m going and you like what I sound like when I’m free and happy. Too often the profession of music and a joyful and creative life don’t mix. We all know the stories of how artists we love never found their way to a life they enjoyed and all we did was dance along to their misery. Your love now speaks to your ears being in sync with my joy. More practically speaking it speaks to you lot actually liking me as an artist, writer and producer. It seems the more of myself I reveal the more you like it, and that warms my heart, so I just want to thank you all for the unending support. I often refer to you all as the “best fans ever” and you keep proving me right! Big love to you all and I’ll get my butt out to see as many of you as the fates will allow soon enough. 🙏🏾🩷🥳

Yola Instagram - I’m so excited to share this  performance of my new song ‘Future Enemies’ with you all! Big love to my co-writers and co-producers Sean Douglas & Zach Skelton for being the dream collaborators and the most joyful people to be vulnerable in writing with. Big love to my new management at Range Media Partners for handling everything so beautifully. Big love to my new Label S-Curve for being open hearted and linking me up with badasses. Big love to this amazing band featuring Camau Klutch, Bernstine (Drums), Paul Johnson (bass), Jules Drucker (guitar) and … assembled by the iconic Ray Angry (Keys). It takes a village my loves and I feel like I finally found a plot of land in said village to call my own. 🙏🏾🥳🥰 #newmusic #video #performance #grateful #newteam

Yola Instagram - Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter @iamyolaofficial joins Phil Lipof to discuss her new EP, “My Way,” and the meaning behind it:

“I actually just get to walk my body around my own dreams.”
Yola Instagram - Whenever you think that you want it. Whenever you think that you want it. You don’t know me. You just think you want this, future enemy.

“Future Enemies” is here y’allll 🖤
Yola Instagram - A moment for the shoes 😍 #fitcheck
Yola Instagram - Happy #juneteenth! May your melanin pop extra hard today if you have some! May your blackness be more than skin deep today, so your acceptance requires real change in the most closeted of bigots. Let’s celebrate black freedom every day but especially today! 🥳🥳🥳✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 #juneteeth #happy #blackandproud #genrefluid #free #freedom
Yola Instagram - See you tomorrow m’doves 😇💅🏾 Check your local listings for times @kellyclarksonshow

Yola Instagram - You don’t want this future enemy 🙅🏿‍♀️
Yola Instagram - Many of us first met @iamyolaofficial around 2019. Her debut album blew us away with its soulful Americana and country blues sound… but, there is so much more to the British musician’s story.

Yola’s latest project, called My Way, is a bit of a sonic reintroduction for us and an opportunity for the artist — to tell her story on her own terms. 

Today, Yola sits down with @kallao about making her new EP, tapping into her roots in the U.K.’s broken beat scene, writing an anthem for the children of Caribbean immigrants, and breaking free from what she calls “creative dictatorships.”

This one’s a blast. Check out the full session over at worldcafe.org 🌴
Yola Instagram - Thank you so much @kellyclarksonshow for having us!!! What an incredible time with this brilliant band. I’m blessed to have such a badass group of players with me on this one featuring

Yola - 5.8K Likes - Well look at that! Big love to my dear friends @rollingstone for the recognition of work both musical and non musical! What an awesome line up to be included in. It all takes me back to the before times! 

Your girl was out in these cold a*s streets of a brand new continent like a campaigner, quipping and witting her way around the subjects in press and TV that are now being discussed with profound ease of understanding. Without the boarderline suicidal work tendencies of my publicist Doug (@bigfeatpr) and my gymnastic reframing of conversations that were leading to weird savour narratives that denied the agency of black artists in and around the genre, this here record would have reached fewer ears. Be it vocals or words, it all proved to make enough impact to create space for more! The good sis @rhiannongiddens had done been saying all the things too, when I popped up 2018/19 with this little wonder. Now @beyonce has entered the chat with Rhi on banjo, and we all get to bask in the brilliant rays of “I told you so”! 😁☀️Every one of you following any one of us, every journalist who rated us, and every outlet who featured us in the spotlight and all who continue to support us as we evolve, feel free to be smug for the next year or so 😂!! #countrysoul #top25 #rollingstone #genrefluid #free #music #cowboycarter #beyonce #country #soul #allthemusic

@iamyolaofficial announces the forthcoming release of her musically unbound EP, My Way, released May 24 as well as My Way: An Intimate Tour which will see Yola performing shows in limited capacity sized rooms across selected cities including Racket in New York, The Atlantis in D.C., El Rey in Los Angeles, Terminal West in Atlanta and Basement East in Nashville, with tickets on sale on Friday January 19.

Says Yola: “Welcome to my new era: a utopia of black creativity, freedom and power. I cannot wait for fans to hear my new music – written and conceived in rooms of diversity – inspired by music I’ve long loved from Janet Jackson to Anderson .Paak to Mary J. Blige. I’m taking these new songs on the road to play for fans to hear it first in intimate venues– true fans know I’ve always been genre-fluid, experimenting and reworking my catalogue through live performance to encompass my love of soul, R&B, electronica and beyond. If you’ve seen the shows you already know where this is heading. This new music is the culmination of that work. This project is also born of my desire to surround myself with creatives of color, to express myself on every level of making this music, and finally, to do this all my way.”

Caption : #Repost @bigfeatpr ・・・ @iamyolaofficial announces the forthcoming release of her musically unbound EP, My Way, released May 24 as well as My Way: An Intimate Tour which will see Yola performing shows in limited capacity sized rooms across selected cities including Racket in New York, The Atlantis in D.C., El Rey in Los Angeles, Terminal West in Atlanta and Basement East in Nashville, with tickets on sale on Friday January 19. Says Yola: “Welcome to my new era: a utopia of black creativity, freedom and power. I cannot wait for fans to hear my new music – written and conceived in rooms of diversity – inspired by music I’ve long loved from Janet Jackson to Anderson .Paak to Mary J. Blige. I’m taking these new songs on the road to play for fans to hear it first in intimate venues– true fans know I’ve always been genre-fluid, experimenting and reworking my catalogue through live performance to encompass my love of soul, R&B, electronica and beyond.

As you all know I’m quite the perfectionist and I’m still working on the new music which is almost there but taking a little longer than expected to get to the finish line, so I am going to be releasing the music a little later than anticipated, watch this space for updates. 

We are also planning to reschedule the Nashville, Atlanta and Los Angeles shows for the same reason. D.C and NYC shows are unaffected. 

Please hold onto your tickets until new dates have been announced. If you cannot attend the new date, refunds are available at point of purchase. 

Sorry for any inconvenience caused but as they say, good things come to those who wait. 

3/6 - Nashville, TN - The Basement East - to be rescheduled 
3/8 - Atlanta, GA - Terminal West - to be rescheduled
3/22 - Pelham, TN - The Caverns Session PBS Taping - canceled
3/25 - Los Angeles, CA - El Rey - to be rescheduled

Yola - 1.9K Likes - Swipe and read! Your first instinct would be “why not?” If you don’t consider the context of the last 30 years in the industry. If you don’t know how many people have talked about this look it up it’s mad insidious. 

In my experience I’ve noticed this tactic take multiple forms. 1) An attempt to get elements of our culture out from under the hands of culturally black black people and 2) in the same breath to uplift⚪️ passing black artists or visually less racially ambiguous artists who are not culturally black and centre ⚪️ culture in particular. All forms are a dispossession and subsequent colonisation of cultural resources. 

All forms need our assistance to be successful, so to refuse to play a part is a stand against the same kinda cultural appropriation that means most people still don’t know who Sister Rosetta Tharpe was. They done been doing this for decades! As you can tell by all my interviews during the Elvis movie promo period I was kinda obsessed about trying to correct that omission in American musical history. So if you wonder how it happens when we don’t know why people aren’t celebrated, this is step 1 in a long and storied strategy, and it’s peak coloniser mentality! Separate off one black person, give them wealth/accolades/rewards (for being or agreeing to stoop to being mid AF) so they can benefit from the dispossession of a whole people, sound familiar? #colonisation #culturalappropriation #cultureiswealth #munilong #kwanzaa thanks for this @beingblackislit & @munilong

Yola - 1.7K Likes - #throwbackthursday to being nominated for an @naacpimageawards for my role as #sisterrosettatharpe last year. An honourable mention should go out to my frankly obsessive and borderline psychotic level of advocacy, that every fan of the #elvismovie should know how significant SRT was to everything in the movie and to contemporary music as a whole! 

What a privilege it was to be so relentless in a plethora of prime time cases. What a joy it was to centre black culture in the moments when I was speaking to people that didn’t, but needed to be. It dawned on me how important it was (and is) to me to not just be physically black so they could see me in these places, but culturally black so they could hear the breadth of our minds in these spaces. 

For my advocacy to be interacting on a level that speaks to the culture and seeks to put it in the spotlight in its entirety and not in piecemeal, was the goal. For my art, I try to reflect my love of it all wholesale, because that is the whole point of being genre fluid. I owe black America my life and sanity, growing up very ethnically isolated in an English village, so this day was a special moment for me that I never dreamed would happen. #gratitude #fortheculture #blackhistorymonth

It dawned on me how important it was (and is) to me to not just be physically black so they could see me in these places, but culturally black so they could hear the breadth of our minds in these spaces. 

For my advocacy to be interacting on a level that speaks to the culture and seeks to put it in the spotlight in its entirety and not in piecemeal, was the goal. For my art, I try to reflect my love of it all wholesale, because that is the whole point of being genre fluid. I owe black America my life and sanity, growing up very ethnically isolated in an English village, so this day was a special moment for me that I never dreamed would happen. #gratitude #fortheculture #blackhistorymonth

Here’s to all the women who pioneer sound, who do not stay in their lane and push the boundaries of art! I believe it is a truly feminist act to be unapologetic in our pursuit of excellence and to take up space physically and figuratively. Sending out love to all the women that dare to be different and walk the path less traveled! #theroadlesstraveled #blackexcellence #womenshistorymonth 📸 by @altonmason

Yola - 1.7K Likes - Did you know this? This had been on my mind a while now. The anti- blackness of anti-fat bias is wild and so insidious! Think about how easy it is to disguise a disdain for fat people (especially femmes) in plain sight. It’s something that is less prevalent in black culture (though not absent because the programming of Eurocentrism still permeates black and brown minds too). It’s useful to know the cause especially if it turns up as unconscious bias! #fatphobia #colonialism #racism #programming #bias

Yola - 1.6K Likes - Hey m’doves!! Thank you for showing my new EP so much love, it means so much more to me than just knowing you like my music. It means you like where I’m going and you like what I sound like when I’m free and happy. Too often the profession of music and a joyful and creative life don’t mix. We all know the stories of how artists we love never found their way to a life they enjoyed and all we did was dance along to their misery. Your love now speaks to your ears being in sync with my joy. More practically speaking it speaks to you lot actually liking me as an artist, writer and producer. It seems the more of myself I reveal the more you like it, and that warms my heart, so I just want to thank you all for the unending support. I often refer to you all as the “best fans ever” and you keep proving me right! Big love to you all and I’ll get my butt out to see as many of you as the fates will allow soon enough. 🙏🏾🩷🥳

Big love to my co-writers and co-producers Sean Douglas & Zach Skelton for being the dream collaborators and the most joyful people to be vulnerable in writing with. Big love to my new management at Range Media Partners for handling everything so beautifully. Big love to my new Label S-Curve for being open hearted and linking me up with badasses. Big love to this amazing band featuring Camau Klutch, Bernstine (Drums), Paul Johnson (bass), Jules Drucker (guitar) and … assembled by the iconic Ray Angry (Keys). It takes a village my loves and I feel like I finally found a plot of land in said village to call my own. 🙏🏾🥳🥰 #newmusic #video #performance #grateful #newteam

Yola - 0.9K Likes - Many of us first met @iamyolaofficial around 2019. Her debut album blew us away with its soulful Americana and country blues sound… but, there is so much more to the British musician’s story.

Yola’s latest project, called My Way, is a bit of a sonic reintroduction for us and an opportunity for the artist — to tell her story on her own terms. 

Today, Yola sits down with @kallao about making her new EP, tapping into her roots in the U.K.’s broken beat scene, writing an anthem for the children of Caribbean immigrants, and breaking free from what she calls “creative dictatorships.”

This one’s a blast. Check out the full session over at worldcafe.org 🌴
