In the midst of inventive clicks and ever-changing interfaces; all of our shares, likes, and bookmarks, it's only natural to believe we've somehow spun our musical preferences into one, big, gigantic spiderweb. Now we stare at an hourglass, waiting for something to get caught, yet most of the time it's just garbage and by "garbage" I mean, a remix-of-a-remix-of-a-cover kind of garbage. As much as I'd like to think I've become incredibly skilled with sifting nonsense out of said digital silk, I've come to the humbling realization that Music, well... it finds you . [...]
Yuna first picked up at guitar at the age of 14, but it wasn't until she was in the midst of studying law that she began to hone her songwriting craft with performances in the public eye. Now, the 24-year-old Malaysian singer is making herself at home in L.A. while she brings some of those intimate performances to the States in support of her debut EP, "Decorate" (out now via Fader Label). It's a humble collection of songs that nod to Feist and Sia influences, but like them Yuna's delicate vocals in sweeping soul-infused pop arrangements reveal a balance [...]

Check out Yuna's beautiful cover of Nirvana's "Come As You Are." And if you look closely, you may recognize a certain Botanical Garden. Yuna performed at Lewis Ginter a few months back.
Nirvana covers have seemingly been around since the formation of the band itself with chanteuse Tori Amos releasing a version of Smells Like Teen Spirit less than eight months after the Nirvana single came out. Malaysian singer Yuna is the latest female singer to get in on the Nirvana cover act and she does a fantastic job with her breathy rendition of Come As You Are... Yuna - Come As You Are
Yuna signs to Fader Label and celebrates with a lovely cover of Nirvana's 'Come as you are'.

Taking the lyrics of Nirvana's "Come As You Are," re-imaging the song's composition, while somehow retaining the Nirvana-lyric-weight, is a downright difficult task that somehow Yuna does impeccably well. The Malaysian singer signed to The Fader Label, released earlier this year her EP, Decorate . Below is the video of her cover, as well as a stream of her EP. She's expected to release a full-length album later this year. Shout out to Ruby Hornet for the update. Yuna : " Come As You Are " [...]

It sure takes lots of musical guts to take on one of the most loved and influential rock songs of the last twenty years.

Check out her beautiful, heartfelt and accomplished acoustic cover of Nirvana's "Come As You Are"pthat premiered on Vevo today.

R&B sensation Raphael Saadiq is performing at Groovin' in the Garden tonight and while his sound is great, I'm more interested in opener Yuna , a beautiful songbird that comes all the way from Malaysia. Her voice is like nothing I've heard before. It's something that definitely grabs my attention. Listen for yourself Yuna - Decorate
Got a sweet little tip on an amazing lady who will be in Atlanta tomorrow night at Variety Playhouse opening for Raphael Saadiq . Her name is Yuna and she's got a really incredible, dream-like voice that sort of reminds me of Marketa Irglova from The Swell Season , the chick from the Weepies , or (and, stay with me on this one) the Murmurs from the 90s. Am I the only one who remembers them and how awesome they were? Annnnywho, Yuna's got the clout of FADER behind [...]
Malaysian-born Yuna crafts a spellbinding form of singer/songwriter magic. The girl with a guitar act is a well-worn one, and one that - when it's not done well - can come off as campy and boring. Yuna, from the outset of her track "Decorate," is nothing of the sort. Her songwriting is breathless, and this...
Malaysia may not be the first place in the world where you'd expect the next-big-thing in music to come from, but that may change once you hear Yuna . Raised in the Asian country, the singer recently released her Decorate EP digitally on the FADER Label, and now she'll be heading out on the road with Raphael Saadiq . The set of shows will be kicking off next week at Webster Hall on May 10. Yuna returns to play Central Park Summerstage with Ray LaMontagne on September 26. [...]
Fresh off of the heels of her US debut EP, Decorate, and performances at Mercury Lounge and SXSW, Malaysian chanteuse Yuna returns to the US for her first US tour. Joining recording artist Raphael Saadiq, Yuna will kick off the tour in New York's Webster Hall this Tuesday, May 10th, and concludes May 25th in Washington, D.C. She'll be back in NYC late September to perform on SummerStage with Ray Montagne. Here are the dates for Yuna's US tour: 5/10 - New York @ Webster Hall 5/18 - Atlanta @ Variety [...]
Selling out New York City's Mercury Lounge is a huge accomplishment for most musicians, and to do it on your first try is practically unheard of. But that's exactly what Malaysian singer/songwriter Yuna did in February for her debut NYC performance. However, coming from someone who's won numerous honors at Malaysia's AIM awards and is [...]

How would you describe your sound in twenty words or less? I'd like to say it's pop meets everything else because I tend to mix different elements of music and make it into my own sound. But one thing's for sure, I'd like my listeners to hear my voice and my words [...]
