Out 4/24/2012 the self-titled album YUNA, was
released by the Malaysian singer songwriter. Born Yunalis Zarai, the 25 year old is on
the world music charts as a Pop-Rock, Indie Rock/Folk artist. Her soft soothing
vocals and warm acoustic guitar are simply refreshing, sometimes jazzy (A little like
Melody Gardot), presenting a free flowing sound that is pleasing to
the ear. Her passion for song is reflected in her music on life, love and so
much more.
Yuna began her career around 2006 by posting recordings on
MySpace singing in English and Malay. She says her influences in music have
been Feist, The Cardigans, Coldplay, Sia, and Bob Dylan. Yuna has steadily
risen on the world charts and signed a US contract in 2010, and released her
first EP in March 2011 to great reviews. She released “Live
Your Life” as a single in January to her album YUNA
Yuna has been nominated for a 2012 MTV Iggy award as “Best New World
Band” and has been nominated and won awards in other countries in the past few
years. She is definitely someone to watch in the future on the world music scene as well as US market.
