Cultural Ambassador artist Yewande


Listen Later

Yewande has been recognized as one of the most sought after independent  artists in the world. After nearly a 5 yr hiatus from the recording  industry, she is back to finish telling her story on her highly  anticipated album, “Rebirth.”  Blessed with a voice “heard only once in a  lifetime”, her message is unapologetically the same - to speak  universal truths about issues that many artists shy away from – poverty,  war, religion, love – but while she still proudly rocks the unique  brand of Alternative Soul that first captivated fans and critics alike,  something is profoundly different. With original songs that include  titles like “Tomorrow”, “Skin”, “Cold” and “Criminal”, her sound is  bigger, bolder, and if at all possible even more confident than her  early award-winning songwriting. “Rebirth” reflects the journey of a  lioness who’s been patiently waiting to capture her prey. Her target is  squarely aimed at your heart and based on insider response, will  undoubtedly land in heavy rotation on your mP3. Much like her  progressive contemporaries - Lenny Kravitz, BOB, Outkast, Black Eyed  Peas, Meshell N'degeocello - Yewande's music continues to defy  boundaries. She shares, "my music is written from the rollercoaster  called life, colored with shades of joy, loss, struggle and triumph. In  an industry where image and formula driven artistry have so often  trumped talent, listeners may be wondering if this new sound was  inspired by her abrupt departure. Or is it simply her birth name, which  in the Yoruba dialect of Africa means “reincarnation of mother”, that  predicted her inevitable return to finish what she started? Soon enough,  listeners will be able to decide for themselves, but for now we’re just  glad to know that that the road less traveled has lead her back to the  music that the world has been waiting to hear.
