A singer whose viral Nina Simone cover led to collaborations with Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith.
For a quick sense of her style, try "My Mind" first, it's all voice and feeling. "Evergreen" is another good one if you want to hear that gospel-rooted delivery in a quieter setting.
YEBBA's 2016 cover of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" went viral and introduced her voice to a wider audience. Songs like "My Mind" and "Evergreen" show how she channels gospel and R&B influences into something direct and personal. She's spoken about how her experiences with mental health shape the music, which keeps the focus on emotional delivery rather than big production.
Growing up in Arkansas singing gospel and R&B, YEBBA first gained attention when her Nina Simone cover spread online. That led to work with artists like Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith, and collaborations with musicians such as Cory Henry and James Poyser. Her own songs, from "My Mind" to "Boomerang," stay centered on vocals and lyrical expression.
