Aussie-born, US-based artist YDE has really impressed me with her latest single “Old Her”. With insightful lyrics and a fresh sound, I can’t stop listening. At 19 she’s probably too young for an existential crisis, but I’m buying it!
“‘Old Her’ is my perspective on growing up and feeling like life never gets easier,” YDE explained. “Each verse is a real-time reflection from different chapters of life that all point back to the sarcastic conclusion that ignorance is bliss.”
She’s not even out of her teens yet, but YDE has already accomplished so much. She had starring roles in the Nickelodeon series The Haunted Hathaways and School of Rock and Netflix’s Malibu Rescue. She also starred alongside Broadway queen Idina Menzel in the live production, WILD: A Musical Becoming. Past singles “BlindLife” and “Stopped Buying Diamonds” got the attention of Drake and Justin Bieber. Now “Old Her” sets the stage for YDE’s debut album, which drops later this year.
