Born and raised in the Netherlands, YOUANDI’s music reflects her diverse heritage from South America to Europe, blending different cultures, sounds, and influences into a captivating and soulful experience.
A vibrant yet understated demonstration of her playful yet considered and emotive musicality, ‘all time’ is a prime example of YOUANDI’s cinematic and experimental approach to R&B. Mystical but atmospheric with swelling synths and sub heavy bass creating a pillowy bed for her silky, whispery reverb tinted lead vocals, the track quickly captures a subtle, hypnotic beauty. As the track builds, adding tight beats and layers of entrancing harmonies, ‘all time’ manages to perfectly balance its emotive tone with catchy melodies to create a truly entrancing musical experience.
Speaking about the track, YOUANDI shares: “When the masculine and feminine energies cooperate, and we align in this collab of forces wonderful things can happen. One example is synchronicity and I’m in awe of it every single time again. During a playful state of creation, these moments feel like they crystalize time, mind, matter, and sound. This can be incredibly healing for the spirit and body. This is exactly why the cute little voice in my head reminds me to create and express myself, without worrying about time and space. In fact, this is what “all time” speaks about – alignment and the magic of allowing creativity to flow freely.
As the track says:
‘all time, all day and all night i’ve got, oh all time, it’s alright, all light we’ve got’”
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, set to drop this May.
The new single ‘all time’ is due for release April 21st.
