YOUANDI was born and raised in the Netherlands. Her unique and infectious sound pays homage to her place of birth and her diverse heritage from South America. Blending culture and music together, YOUANDI has already made quite the impact on the music industry.
Her latest offering comes in the form of an immersive album entitled “i said to me.” A 10-track offering, the album will be sure to pull you in with it’s lo-fi production and heartwarming instrumentation. YOUANDI’s vocals shine through on all the tracks, coming as softly-penned but also impactful. The album’s lead track ‘easy’ is a prime example of the album’s sound, rich, tectural and beautiful.
Speaking about the album, YOUANDI shares: “Imagine stepping into my mind through this album. It’s a journey into the conversations and perspectives that exist within my own consciousness. It’s a meeting point between my ego and the depths of my unconscious mind, where inspiration and insight collide. At times, I find myself grappling with the wisdom and messages I missed, making life harder for myself. Yet, the music I’ve written has become a source of crazy beautiful teachings. Although also confusing sometimes since they make me question myself and the nature of things in spirals sometimes but all questions contain great purpose. The producers created a home for me to live out these convo’s in the most pure and honest way and since it’s a process of subtlety they’ve done an incredibly great job in doing so. The tones and sounds they crafted awakened a symphony of thoughts and voices within me, eager to be heard, eager to be felt.”
Since her debut in 2018 with Dutch producer Chalé, YOUANDI has released multiple singles, building up to the highly anticipated release of her debut album. Having gained tastemaker press support form the likes of Earmilk and Music News, we cannot wait to see where she’ll take this.
