YAOUNDÉBOXINGCLUB – Self-Care 101

French-Cameroonian musician and producer YAOUNDÉBOXINGCLUB is back with an anthemic indie-pop banger called ‘Self-Care 101’ – and we’re living for it!

If you’re going through a tough time right now and feeling hard on yourself, then this song should serve as a wake-up call to you. It’s a track that reminds us to embrace ourselves and to realise that life is to be enjoyed.

“I spent way too many years picking on every single little thing about me, worrying about what I didn’t like about myself, and feeling so hopeless about it all instead of living and enjoying my time here. At some point last year, after an eye-opening talk with my mom who’s mentioned in the song, I literally realised I couldn’t go on like this any longer. So I did some work. It’s still a work in progress, but I’m hopeful. This song is my testimony.”

The song is lifted from the artist’s upcoming ‘We’re all gonna die anyway’ EP, which is scheduled for release this June. In the meantime, you can enjoy more of YAOUNDÉBOXINGCLUB’s music over on her Spotify.

YAOUNDÉBOXINGCLUB – SNAKES

You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t enjoy the sounds of YAOUNDÉBOXINGCLUB.

This London-based singer, songwriter and producer is building a reputation for herself as a musician who is unafraid to push sonic boundaries. She’s back today with an impressive new single, called ‘SNAKES’.

The song’s lyrics tell of the artist’s struggles with trying to navigate her way through life, and is complimented by a grunge-inspired style of production that is powerfully raw and arresting in tone.

“I wrote the song in about an hour, hence why it’s quite simplistic lyrically. It pretty much speaks for itself, and it’s something I needed to get off my chest. Sonically, it’s quite different from what I’ve done so far, but it’s pretty much inspired by all the music that I grew up listening to: Sum 41, Blink-182, Fall Out Boy then State Champs, The Story So Far and ROAM.”

Debut EP ‘I Thought I Knew You, Boy Was I Wrong’ is out now.

YAOUNDÉBOXINGCLUB + tmdistant – Did It My Way

Rising talents YAOUNDÉBOXINGCLUB and tmdistant have joined forces to create one of the most impressive collaborations that we’ve seen so far this month.

Through an upbeat production that fuses elements of indie and alternative pop, ‘Did It My Way’ highlights to listeners the importance of embracing our self-worth. Elaborating further on the inspiration behind the track’s empowering message, YAOUNDÉBOXINGCLUB explains:

“I guess I’m a nice person who always tries to help others out when I can and even when I can’t sometimes, and that really hasn’t worked out in my favour. People tend to take advantage of that and I know it. I used to let it slide, until recently, when I realised that I wouldn’t get where I want in life if I didn’t put myself first. This song is about that realisation.” – YAOUNDÉBOXINGCLUB.

Aside from the fact that both YAOUNDÉBOXINGCLUB and tmdistant have already picked up widespread tastemaker praise over a relatively short space time, these two musicians have also grown significant fan bases – with each artist amassing more than 250k career streams to date.

New Music: YAOUNDÉBOXINGCLUB

I was immediately captivated by French artist YAOUNDÉBOXINGCLUB’s new single ‘Young’ purely from the lyricism. This is such a beautifully constructed slice of alt-pop that carries so much substance within the words sung.

The 21 year-old talent is not only a singer and songwriter but also a producer and mix engineer. Combined with a skill for writing impactful songs, you can expect to hear a lot more from this magnificent performer.

“‘Young’ is about feeling lost, desperate and demotivated while being told that you got your whole life ahead of yourself and that you’ll never be happier. That is definitely how I felt when I wrote it. I think I needed to hear these words, and I needed to hear them from myself specifically, because when all is crumbling around us the only person we can really rely on is ourselves. Through this song I tell myself that things are going to be fine and that I need to hold on, but I also give myself a reality check and pretty much force myself to acknowledge and even embrace my insecurities and weaknesses.”
