“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.

Dan Auerbach will release his new sophomore solo album, “Waiting On a Song”, on June 2nd via his new label Easy Eye Sound, and the Black Keys frontman has shared the second single from the effort, “King of a One Horse Town,” along with a new video.

On the new song, Auerbach writes, “The King of a One Horse Town is anyone who’s scared of the outside world. Anyone who’s afraid to go beyond their own block for fear of failure. It could be a drug dealer. A drunk. A professor. That’s a feeling any of us can relate to.” In the video, which can be viewed below, one such man is followed around a series of desolate locations.

Auerbach calls Waiting On a Song his “love letter to Nashville,” and the album features collaborations with John Prine, Duane Eddy, Jerry Douglas, Mark Knopfler, Pat McLaughlin and the Memphis Boys’ Bobby Wood and Gene Chrisman.

On May 12th, Auerbach will play an intimate gig at New York’s Music Hall of Williamsburg that will be broadcast live via SiriusXM’s The Channel (ch. 28).
