We are pretty stoked about the Asian Muslim indie-darling that is about to take the world by storm. Malaysian songstress Yuna's success is not only desired simply because it would be a great event for two communities that don't get a large amount of shine; her music is a solid and refreshing revitalization of the female singer/songwriter traditions of the 90s. She grew up digging No Doubt and Fiona Apple, went to Law school, self-released her own EP, and has been making waves ever since. At 24, the songbird soared in Malaysia and was signed to the FADER label earlier this month. She just released her first single "Live Your Life", an intoxicating track produced by Pharrell. Yuna's vocals prove a perfect match for the well-rounded sounds of Skateboard P, and we can barely wait to hear her debut US EP Decorate planned to drop in mid-March, with a full length album to follow. For now we'll leave you with a video to her cover of Nirvana's "Come as You Are", a song she turns from morose to tender and truly inviting. Check it out!
