An artist with a clear and abundant commitment to their craft and their fans, precocious singer-songwriter Edie Yvonne has made their ambitions clear to the world from their home and studio in Los Angeles, California. Demonstrating a Herculean level of growth and development since embarking on their musical journey a few short years ago, they have developed into an artist who truly stands on the merit of their own original music, delivering a diverse body of work that is unique to them in countless ways, prompted by a theme of narrative motivation far beyond their years. Their newest single “Look Me in the Eye” proves to build on this already robust legacy they have built for themself, as it gives audiences a glimpse of a more stripped-down and acoustic side of their proclivities.
An acoustic guitar plucking in an upbeat pattern begins the piece, as Yvonne begins humming along, building anticipation with every bar. As the music grows in tonal intensity, the artist quickly begins the narrative of the track as she sings the opening line, “Why does no one seem to care that the flowers aren’t blooming? And why does no one feel regret for the rhythm they’re losing?”
Allowing herself to be vulnerable in her delivery and process, her lyrics prove a staunch deviation from her earlier pop-inspired work and highlight the artist’s tonal shift to inspirational storytelling that forces listeners to look inward, reflecting on the ways we see ourselves as well as the world around us.
