Expanding the discourse around Edie Yvonne’s nuanced artistry, ‘Burn’ represents a refreshing change of pace in the LA-based creative’s catalogue. An emotional, lighter effort, the single finds its quirky identity over modern pop stylings and the occasional distorted guitars – we’d say it is decisively cooler than previous records, and also more evocative and poignant.
It works: Yvonne’s elegant vocals are a perfect match for such a heartwarming song. The addition of a kalimba performed by Edie herself gives the overall piece an angelic, almost ethereal vibe. When it comes to songwriting, ‘Burn’ retains the project’s catchy and relatable lyricism, exploring the complex and fragmented world of human relationships.
‘Burn’ is released on the day Yvonne performs for the first time live in NYC, at the Vascular Birthmarks Foundation 30th anniversary gala. Speaking about the inspiration behind it, she explains: “When someone blows up their life and you are left behind to try to put out the fire”.
