This episode's artist is Yola, potentially a new name to many. Yola would probably not be considered a typical country singer by most: she's black, she's British, and seems to effortlessly glide between R&B, soul, Americana, and blues. Though she considers herself "genre-fluid" (a term she coined), when she makes a country song, she knocks it out of the park. And this country soul excellence is what you're gonna hear on "It Ain't Easier," the song of the week, from her critically acclaimed debut album.
Don't have time to listen to her whole catalog? Here are some recs from Danny and Tyler:
I Don’t Wanna Lie
Ride Out in the Country
Faraway Look
Orphan Country
Dancing Away In Tears
Diamond Studded Shoes
Only The Night
Be My Friend
Fly Away
