With a warm electronic bed and bouncy beats, Willah’s debut single Yes! wiggles with a gentle excitement. Vocals have an authenticity that gives the song a grounded feeling—slightly nerdy in a Metronomy and Hot Chip way, but all the more accessible as the result.
It is the chorus of Yes! that really delivers… Willah’s vocal little more than a sassy, “Uh hu, yeah yeah” refrain that loops over and over in my brain, whilst sounds ping pong around like synaptic fireworks.
Yes! is a song about the kind of romance where even the participants know won’t last. The energy on display is reflective of those bubbling emotions as eyes meeting, and words go unspoken, upshot with a cooling slice of melancholy. I am excited to hear more. Check it out:
