Pharrell Introduces Yuna: Malaysia’s Best Kept Secret

Yuna Peforms “Lullabies” in Brooklyn
These days, it’s tough to find vocalists that you won’t forget as soon as the next Rick Ross video drops. We’re over exposed to music and it doesn’t look like the overload will let up any time soon. So it’s a real treat when the MissInfo.tv crew comes across a singer that we’re impressed by. A few weeks ago we introduced you to Yuna (by way of Fader), a souful Malaysian singer/songwriter that caught the attention of Pharrell… and Gabz! Like many of you, we fell in love with her soothing voice, which meshed so well over the vintage-sounding Pharrell beat of “Live Your Life.”
Last night, we got to witness Yuna’s incredible talent, first hand. From Rubber Tracks studio in Brooklyn, this newcomer blew us away with her live songs. Check out what we saw above.
(Special thanks to the Fader/Cornerstone family for putting this together)

She’s got flow. I could see her blowing up especially with the whole Malaysian ethnicity aspect. Her sound reminds me of early Erykah Badu fused with some Jill Scott and JazzyFatNastees. Good look!

I saw her video “Live Your Life” on VH1 Soul a few days ago. I thought she was black and asian. Her look will open a lot of doors for her. On top of that, she can sing first and foremost.
