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.

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 - #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. 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! 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 4/15 - Washington, DC - The Atlantis SOLD OUT 4/16 - Washington, DC (second show added) 4/18 - Manhattan, NY - Racket NYC (low tickets)

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 📸 @mpvinny300

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 - 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. 🙏🏾🩷🥳

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

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.”

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

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 📸 @mpvinny300

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. 🙏🏾🩷🥳
