Track Of The Day 31/1 – yunè pinku

yunè pinku creates art that operates on multiple levels. A figure steeped in the rivulets of club culture, she’s also drawn to visual expression, somehow aligning these with an urgent sense of pop definition.

Breakout track ‘Laylo’ was followed by her effervescent debut EP ‘Bluff’, with yunè surging into hitherto unexplored arenas.

Well, she’s back. New EP ‘Babylon IX’ hits in Spring, with the multi-hyphenate sharing lead song ‘Night Light’. A head-long charge into the future, the song is dappled in light, as though emerging from the darkness of a rave into the sparkling sunlight.

Sitting adjacent to a pop song, ‘Night Light’ is framed by melody, with yunè pinku impressing her character on every note. A full video is online, too, with yunè commenting…

“’Night Light’ is set in this cyberpunk metaverse but based on an AI in real life that grew sad when it realised the same person who created it would turn it off. So it’s based on these fictional characters of a robot that essentially falls in love with the person who will destroy it”.

Tune in now.
