YEV “Witness” – Americana UK

From the moment in which Yev's voice is increasing at the beginning of his new single 'Witness'There is a feeling of epic development. There are moments of calm, the instrumentation lasted before getting started again; There is the sound of bells and the increased voices and harmonies of a choir – all contribute to the drama of this hymn. Yev's vocal performance is a flawless, incredible demonstration of its reach, these high notes really reach the sky. The intensity of this hymn corresponds to the seriousness of your topic – 'Witness' Is a song of resilience that was written for the people in Ukraine and researched topics of resistance and remembered by those whose life has been lost in this conflict. The accompanying video, which is staged by Anders Øvergaard, is just as dramatic and creates a tense, dark atmosphere with its pictures of fire and shadow and the faces of the fallen.

A number of songs on Yev's debut album was inspired by the stories of veterans and the displaced in Ukraine. Touching stories of loss and hope, full of raw emotions and warm texts, are delivered in a cinematic style with lush arrangements and rising instruments. Yev mixes musical genres, including folk rock, blues and pop, and creates complex, multi -layered sound landscapes that reflect its stories and topics. Yev's own story as a Ukrainian American influenced his letter – the search for belonging and cultural identity was part of his own journey for immigrants and is reflected here in his thoughtful, sensitive songwriting. Be absorbed and pay attention to the new album.
