When she first broke through with her captivating debut single 'Forest Fire' last year, London's YDEA quickly established herself as one of the more immersive names to arrive that year. And with the passion still burning very much inside her, she is continuing that illuminating form with her sublime sophomore single 'Lovers Game'.
Matching the same atmospheric intention that made 'Forest Fire' such an impactful listen, her newest endeavour finds her exploring more of that riveting appeal once again. With her lofty and evocative vocals soaring their way across this vibrant new delight, 'Lovers Game' marks another shining example of her proficient direction to date.
Reflecting on the healing power of self-love after suffering some devastating personal turmoil, 'Lovers Game' is a wondrous response to those emotionally-charged moments in life. Spinning pain into art is a well-established coping mechanism, but YDEA seems to bring new life to her music through it, seeking something new and interesting to call her own.
