YellowStraps - STACE

"Délicates, sensuelles et groovy, les compostions de YellowStraps séduisent dès les premières notes"

Electric guitar loops, vocals and piano floating through reverb, UKG, 2Step and neo-soul infused drums: YellowStraps offers us hybrid art stretching the boundaries of genres.

Recently propelled by his track "Slowdown (girl what's up)" released in November 2023, which accumulated +12M on Spotify and +16M views on IG, Yvan reappropriates the garage atmosphere he loves so much and decides to reformulate it with his own codes, his electric ukulele and his clone, which he materializes in his handmade videos.  In early 2024, he remixed his own track "blue" with Sofiane Pamart, confirming his mastery of this hybrid formula between soaring sounds and dry UK-style drums.

YellowStraps isn't just about the hits that have introduced him to the general public. With an abundant and varied discography, he breaks away from academic structures and intersects with the sounds that inspire him. "The best compliment anyone can pay me is that my music is impossible to describe."

The new YellowStraps has arrived: ripe and confident fruit of an already dense career, but also a bud bursting with ardor and invention. The recognition he has gained through his recent hits has elevated him to a decisive position in which he is now able to disseminate his unique art to a large number of people. He is also stepping up his live performances with an increasing number of concerts and a live band to accompany him now, affirming his desire to meet his growing community.

STACE

Figure émergente de la scène neo soul, c’est à la fin de l’année 2021 que STACE nous partage sa musique autoproduite pour la première fois. L’année suivante, alors qu’elle promeut son premier EP « Green Onyx », la chanteuse basée à Bruxelles, dont l’indiscutable talent est instantanément validé par l’industrie, se voit se produire sur plus de 60 scènes à travers la Belgique. Avec notamment des apparitions à Dour Festival, Couleur Café, Nuits Botanique, Ancienne Belgique, We Are Open Trix, Fifty Lab, De Roma, Het Depot et tant d’autres.

Après une courte pause, durant laquelle elle compose et enregistre son nouvel EP dont la sortie est prévue le 27 octobre sur 62 Records, l’artiste pluridisciplinaire a fait son retour à l’AB le 10 novembre 2023 pour une soirée qui était très attendue.Soul, sensuel et épicurien, ce nouvel essai tire des traits d'union entre des émotions extrêmes. En harmonie, en mesure de dompter sa mélancolie, la compositrice d’origine martiniquaise entrevoit la lumière à l'aune de mélodies solaires et ultra contemplatives, observe l’époque avec un surcroît d’empathie et un sens inné de l’interprétation.
