JYLDA – Impulse
London based alt-pop songstress JYLDA continues her road to success with latest release ‘Impulse’. Speaking on the new single, JYLDA mentions, “The song is about a dark romance, full of poisonous adventure. A cruel childish game; wild, masterful distraction with no direction. Fascinating and daunting at the same time. The motor of it is the unsolvable riddle: What’s behind the other person’s actions? What is their impulse? I’ve been captivated by this dynamic, by going in circles, being drawn in by the tension of uncertainty. At some point you will know that, at the core of it, they are just as full of confusion as you are. If you watched from afar, you would see them as an ever-repeating reflection of the past, trapped in their own system of push and pull. And maybe they never even really knew what their impulse was in the first place.”
Impulse surrounds itself in a futuristic presence, blending experimental sounds into the world of alternative. For fans of empowering artists Banks, FKA Twigs and Arca, ‘Impulse’ is an enchanting soundscape fuelled with JYLDA’s identity. Using instrumentation from every genre possible, the multi-genre wonder blends diverse instrumentation to fuse JYLDA’s avant-garde side. ‘Impulse’ is an intense journey that uses dynamics through love, and will make JYLDA a household name.
