Yb. – Sounds of Oz

Meeanjin/Brisbane-based artist Yb. has taken a sonic left turn for his sophomore single “Sleeping Without Me”. With earthier, more acoustic-driven sound than his first single “Change Your Mind”, Yb. shows he’s an artist who loves to keep fans guessing. This track explores the difficulties of sustaining a relationship when one person is emotionally distant.

“While one party has so much love to give, the other struggles to tap into their emotional side. It almost always leads to complications,” he explained.

“Sleeping Without Me” comes from Yb.’s forthcoming EP, which is out later this year. There are plenty of opportunities to see him live before then, so make sure you don’t miss out!

Recently handpicked by triple J Unearthed to open the inaugural THIS THAT show at Sandstone Point, it seems like Yb. is impressing the right people right now. If you’re not already on board, his dreamy new single “Change Your Mind” might just convince you that he’s the real deal.

“’Change Your Mind’ in its essence is about emotional acceptance,” said Yb. “Written into the song, is a series of challenging feelings and realisations. These lyrics follow an interaction between two parties battling their internal sentiments, ultimately leading to ‘the singer’ accepting that they are not in control of the tendencies of another.”

“Change Your Mind” gives us our first taste of Yb.’s debut EP, which should drop really soon.
