I feel like Yuna’s last album, Nocturnal, kind of flew under the radar. She’s always been one of our favorite artists on SNSS and I thought she would break out a bit more with this last project, since it’s full of great records like this one. She just makes really enjoyable, catchy records.
While in Seattle for the 2012 Capitol Hill Block Party, Malaysian-born singer Yuna visited SNSS for an interview and live performance. We discussed her transition from Asia, the role MySpace, Indie Pop, and FADER played in her success, meeting and working with Pharrell, her creative process, her growing collection of cover records, life on tour, her self-titled US debut album, her next project, and more. Additionally, she performed two acoustic songs live in studio: “Live Your Life” (5:40) and “Decorate” (16:08).
Yuna is a true talent. Catch up if you’ve been sleeping and keep an eye out for her to make some big waves in the near future.
Shout out to the Cornerstone, Detooz Films, and Le Fresh Perspective homies for helping make this happen.
This is my favorite song out right now, shout to Rob Stone and the Cornerstone homies for putting me up on this. I may or may not have a crush on Yuna too. Here’s the original, beyond classic unplugged version from Nirvana, just for good old times sake:
