Ymi – Tomorrow Come

Lithuanian-born Londoner Ymi stormed onto the scene with her debut ‘Tomorrow Come’. Unleashing a strong indie meets electro-pop influence, the debut explores experimental pop and makes it distinctive. Stretching into the unknown and breaking down boundaries, Ymi is proving that she’s one to watch out for. With an upcoming self-produced album release just around the corner, the album’s called ‘Black Heart’ and signifies a strong statement that will go down in history in Ymi’s career. Ymi mentioned, ‘“Whilst in the middle of it all it’s easy to fall deep, become overwhelmed and wrongly assume that this is how things always were and forever will remain. However, tomorrow comes and life swiftly changes. It never fails to do so.’ Stating that this mantra is one to live by day by day, Ymi also stated â€œIt’s a truth everyone knows, yet easily forgets. I can only hope that this song might remind at least one person of this.”

Atmospheric but leaving you suspending with tension of what tomorrow will unveil for the songwriter, it’s the synth tones that comfort whatever may lie ahead. In a time where the world is tense from what’s going to happen next with the pandemic, Ymi has hit the nail on the head with a desirable track. What makes the song so distinctive is how it balances the calm and storms of everyday life. Featuring the ups and downs, the use of melodic arpeggios summit the soundscape with ease. Iconic and showcasing her stunning vocal tones, the electronic artist has become a new favourite of mine and I’m sure she’ll be one of yours too.

Through the years, the songwriter has served as a background singer for Demi Lovato and Pharrell to name a few.

Released back in April, ‘Curious Man’ unleashes a simplistic approach to music with a subtle folk-pop twist. On the release, Raymond stated, ‘The song itself is all about curiosity – stating through each verse how the curious man will have advantages over a hard working, talented, or confident man. It’s a thoughtful tune and I really worked hard on these lyrics.

Sounding like the lovechild of Paul Simon and Jason Mraz, Raymond’s stunning single is set to raise eyebrows and smiles all across the globe during this tough time for us all.
