Yuna - Nocturnal

This post is going to be a little different as I've been meaning to review an album for a while now, and I've finally now sat down to do so.  The decision of which album I wanted to review, wasn't at all in any way difficult as I've been obsessed with it for at least 5 months now. The album I will be reviewing is 'Yuna - Nocturnal'

The album 'Nocturnal' by the 27 year old Malaysian artist 'Yuna' now her album as a whole is a masterpiece if I do say so myself. I'm fond of all eleven tracks, especially her track 'Come Back' and 'Someone Who Can' these two songs already completely contrast each other in style and tempo 'Come Back' is an uplifting and soul reviving song which would make an individual want to dance around their room and even replay memories of a loved one; whereas 'Someone Who Can' has the ability to make a person regret ever loving that particular individual and wanting to rip their head off... Yet within themselves have hope that they will never fall for someone like that again. Within that both tracks have the influence of Yunas soft voice as well as her cultural background Malaysia; "We did a lot of experimenting, doing things like working with traditional Malaysian instruments and making them work in the context of a pop song that sounds current." - Yuna 

Although, Yuna does not have the strongest vocals such as Jessie J or Adele this in a way is a very good thing. We have such a variety of women on the music scene who have powerful voices who can touch your soul in a matter of seconds and make you feel; Yuna is still able to do so but in a different way- Yuna is able to not only stun an audience with her soft vocals but her poetic lyrics; this is executed perfectly in both 'Lovely Intermission' and 'Colors' - She also plays with harmonies which is something she does throughout the album but within 'Lovely Intermission' it's been done so well it sounds as if angels are singing with her. 

Yuna's album has a very uplifting vibe to it, whereby even though some of the songs are thought provoking and deep poetry the music used throughout allows you to zone out and feel the music and nothing else. Although she describes her music within the genre of 'pop' I think it's safe to say that her music much more than that; or if anything nothing at all to do with your mainstream pop artists such as 'Ke$ha and Miley Cyrus'. Yuna has a voice of gold, and her mixture of genres is a gift to the world.

Let me know if you think I should do more reviews or you want more on movies/ food and stuff.

Peace & Love
