Yola's 'Stand For Myself' Lands #1 on Americana Albums Charts

On August 19, Yola delivered a dazzling performance of “Diamond Studded Shoes'' on Jimmy Kimmel Live! The performance of her recent single, which is featured on her anthemic album Stand For Myself, was taped at Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound studio in Nashville and is available to watch here.

Speaking about the song, Yola stated, “This song explores the false divides created to distract us from those few who are in charge of the majority of the world’s wealth and use the ‘divide and conquer’ tactic to keep it. This song calls on us to unite and turn our focus to those with a stranglehold on humanity.”

Stand For Myself was released via Easy Eye Sound on July 30, 2021 and hailed as a singular sonic shift, by publications including The New York Times who stated, "'Stand for Myself,’ is an album made on her own terms” and All Songs Considered anointed the album “the best soul record of the last 20 years.” The album landed the #1 spot on the U.S. Americana Albums charts and single “Diamond Studded Shoes” also snagged the #1 spot on the U.S. Americana Singles chart, now celebrating a total of 8 weeks at the top of the chart.

Produced by Dan Auerbach, the album traces a musical thread to Yola’s most eclectic musical inspirations. From the seminal albums Yola discovered via her mother’s 70s record collection, to her love of eclectic British radio, which featured a fluid mix of rock, 90s neo soul, R&B and britpop—all which soundtracked her childhood and teenage years in Bristol, England. It reflects on Yola’s belief in the possibility of paradigm shift beyond the mental programming that creates tokenism and bigotry, which have deeply impacted her personal life and professional career.

Yola recently announced her upcoming early spring 2022 headline tour dates that will see her perform shows at venues across the US. She will also be performing dates with Chris Stapleton on his rescheduled tour in 2021, including Madison Square Garden on October 8 and two nights at Bridgestone Arena on Oct 22-23.

Favorites of 2021By Bill Bentley It’s the time of year when it’s fun to look back, rummage through all the releases of the past 12 months and see what rises to the surface as music that will last forever.

YOLA – A Black Girl Who Rocks!

Yola performs in Austin, Texas - Scoot Inn. By Suzanne Cordeiro.

          By Naomi Richard for The Austin Villager Newspaper. Published here by permission.

     If you don’t know the four-time GRAMMY® nominated artist sensation Yola, get to know her now! Yola, a British country soul artist now finds herself on major platforms including SXSW 2019, the first artists taped for Austin City Limits 2020, the GRAMMY® Award pre-show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and she recently joined Austin’s own Gary Clark Jr. to honor legendary rock band Aerosmith during a pre-Grammy fundraiser.

    The British native experienced her breakout success in 2019 with the release of Walk Through Fire, a Dan Auerbach–produced album. What is her genre, you might ask? Yola can sing across many genres including Americana, Soul, Country, Country Soul and the list goes on. Her powerful vocals and her extensive range seem achievable with little or no effort. Yola is a music machine and as if that isn’t enough, she is also an accomplished guitarist!

     With just a few musical accompaniments, this powerhouse bellows out notes that make you look twice…wondering, where did that sound come from! Her live performances are to die for. Recently she performed to a packed crowd at Austin’s own Scoot Inn. The old and young stood for hours listing to her melodious voice sing hit after hit such as Ride Out in the Country, Rock Me Gently, Love All Night (Work All Day), Shady Grove and, of course, Walk Through Fire along with many more.

           Seemingly overwhelmed by her newfound fame, this beautiful, dark-chocolate, full-figured and big-hair ball of fire grabs your heart. She is a force to be reckoned with and she’s just beginning a musical career that’s destined to last for many years to come. While reflecting on her new path she shared simply, “Being a new artist is not easy…I still cannot believe that I’m here!” And as one is to expect, after performing on the GRAMMY® Award pre-show, she’s in non-stop demand.

         In the past year alone, Yola finds herself as a four-time GRAMMY® nominated artist for:  Best New Artist; Best Americana Album for Walk Through Fire; Best American Roots Song; and Best American Roots Performance for Faraway Look. Apart from these nominations, Yola also won UK Artist of the Year and UK Album of the Year for Walk Through Fire.

If you followed the end of the year breakdowns ranking the best albums of 2019, you know that Yola’s debut, Walk Through Fire, is prominently featured everywhere from Rolling Stone to The Associated Press. Add four Grammy nominations – including nods for Best New Artist and Best Americana Album – to the equation and it is clear that the powerhouse songwriter has made her mark on the music…
