“Walk Through Fire”, the debut album from Yola, establishes her as the queen of country soul from the first note. The Dan Auerbach–produced album is a contemporary twist on a traditional sonic tapestry of orchestral strings, fiddle, steel, and shimmering tremolo guitars. Walk Through Fire is a career-defining and genre-bending release from one of the most exciting emerging British artists in music today. Yola’s arresting vocals captivate with sincere tales of heartache and loves lost, forgotten, and broken.
From the first bars of the track ‘Faraway Look’, a glorious feeling of sublime calm takes over. Yola’s debut album Walk Through Fire takes you on a journey through classic 70s sounds with touches of soft country sensibilities.
It’s like a memory you can’t place. A reverie.
This British singer-songwriter will soothe you with her soulful lullabies as her voice melds around your ears and gently rocks you.
Listen to this album under the breeze of a shady tree on a sunny afternoon, on a tartan picnic blanket in the park. Perfect with soft cheese and full-bodied wine.
Yola’s “Walk Through Fire,” from her Dan Auerbach-produced debut album, Walk Through Fire, released February 22nd, 2019, on Easy Eye Sound.
