Yinka Bernie has stamped his presence on the Alternative music scene thanks to his enigmatic production and recording style. So when he announced the release of his latest body of work, “Something New,” it was a safe assumption that the new represents more than just new music. It represents new emotions, new levels of vulnerability, and new heights of the compelling experience he often creates. Out now on all digital streaming platforms is this 5-track EP carefully curated by a producer and singer on a mission to tell his truth through his music.
Although the young Nigerian artist took a break from releasing music, he has had no shortage of inspirational moments to draw from while he was away. He has enjoyed the experience working with UK rapper Santan Dave and witnessed “Sad Girls Luv Money” – which he collaborated on as a producer – attain global acclaim. But now, he has his eyes set on more personal success, and the quality of “Something New” might just get him there.
From “Who Do You Call” to “It’s Okay to Cry,” Yinka Bernie encourages him to join him on an emotional journey. He speaks of relatable travails of the human experience over immersive sounds and in his signature baritone singing voice. He shares the creative workload of “Something New” with genius minds like Obed, Sir Bastien, Joyce Olong, and Tochi Bedford. This Extended Playlist is Yinka Bernie’s most honest project yet, and it’s honesty you’ll come to appreciate as soon as you stream “Something New.”
