Find A Song that reflects on the eternal quest to finding the perfect person you resonate with
YellowStraps - Goldress (feat. VYNK)
Brussels-based alternative R&B/ soul duo YellowStraps have shared their latest single ‘Goldress’ (feat. VYNK) on 13 December via Haliblue Records. It is the title track from their upcoming EP Goldress, slated to drop on 7 February 2020.
YellowStraps is the collaborative effort of Rwandan-born brothers Alban and Yvan Murenzi. Raised in Uganda, the two self-taught artists have now called Belgium their home, where they continue creating and challenging their own musical boundaries.
‘Goldress’ is craft in action, showcasing enviable vocal ability framed in kinetic, inspired instrumentals. Operating in a smooth, soulful groove, the track pushes against the borders of convention both lyrically and sonically while marking a path for a complex of jazzy references to shine through. From the get-go, ‘Goldress’ is an ingenious blend of soulful tunes and undeniable technique, held together effortlessly by the charismatic Murenzi brothers.
The video for the track takes place in a cinema, between a young man and a woman in a gold dress. The panning of the camera between the two characters creates complex dynamics from simple actions, while the visuals of the “lady in the gold dress” complement the inherent surrealism, while at the same time adding a literal element to the cinematography.
“‘Goldress’ is a collaboration track we wrote two years ago with a friend of ours (VYNK). It's the first single from our forthcoming EP and acts as a follow-up to the story depicted in our previous track ‘Blame’ (about relationships and stuff...)” say YellowStraps about their new offering. "Goldress reflects on the eternal quest to finding the perfect person you resonate with." (press release)
