As iVANA can confirm, there’s nothing quite like finding solace and strength in music. After starting her musical journey at a very young age, she soon found her creative signature, a sort of hip-hop meets EDM and electronica blend, encompassing artists such as Erykah Badu and New Order. ‘YO-YO’ is iVANA’s latest effort, a bouncy, groovy and fast-paced tempo with an emphasis on melodious hooks and reflective undertones. Lyrically, the song seeks to communicate the need for empowerment, motivating listeners to “never be afraid to be bold and smile in the face of those who try to bring you down.”
iVANA has already performed in a variety of events, from underground DIY venues to the notable DeluxxFluxx in Manhattan. Channelling the modern energy of Santigold and Lykke Li, among others, she is sure to make a lasting impression wherever she go. Undoubtedly, iVANA is an act to watch, and their music provides a much-needed reminder of the beauty and power of our inner child.
Shifting the focus back on ‘YO-YO’, we’d love to call your attention to the jungle and D&B references in the song. Perhaps there’s a touch of hyper-pop in the track, too. Overall, the record is pretty eclectic, showcasing the Brooklyn talent as an inspired and dynamic young creative. You’d be a fool not to give her a chance.
