Getting to know Yana Rose is a dive into the artistic saga of a talented young songwriter, balancing music with real-life challenges and creative blurs. In the process of moving from Los Angeles to Nashville, Rose is still looking for a place to call home, still exploring the many possibilities her existence has to offer. While being an artist in the world’s music capital can be really tough, it is less difficult if you are really talented. That’s why we are confident about Yana finding her place: her music showcases great lyrical sensibility, together with a powerful yet expressive voice. Championing bedroom and indie pop vibes, the American jewel is ready for her life’s next chapter.
Debuting earlier this year, Yana Rose now collects all singles into an EP, ‘Another Missed Sunset’. In it, we find tales of human experience and reckoning, providing a glimpse into its author’s eclectic and chaotic life. ‘Long Distance Friend’ introduced the record in ballad fashion. Built over poignant piano chords and long reverbs, the track is a heartwarming, emotional jewel.
‘Tainted Heart’ follow up with more energy, while keeping introspective lyricism at its core. ‘I Should Just Shut Up’ focuses instead on soulful, RnB-flavoured territories, putting Rose’s mesmerising vocals at the forefront. The production feels modern, nuanced and well-put together.
‘Good Riddance’ closes the EP, a journey we wish could be longer. Describing the process around the making of the record, Yana Rose explains: “I think of the EP as a reflection of the past few years of my life, which were so choppy, unstable, and emotionally tumultuous. There were many events that inspired each song. For a long time, the EP was going to be called “Distracted”, because I felt like that word represented my college years well, but one evening in the spring I was sitting on my bedroom floor writing, and noticed the pretty hues in the sky over the buildings. I just thought to myself, “there goes another missed sunset.” I knew immediately that that would be the title of the EP.”
