On her most recent single "No More," emerging Afro-fusion artist yesprincess invites you into this deeply personal yet universally resonant story with ease and finesse, which is delicately arranged on warm, sun-baked melodies and rhythm. A native of Los Angeles who connects to her African roots with the textures of Afrobeats, afro-pop, and tropical world music, yesprincess once again shows she helping to shape the wave.
Drawing from personal, deeply internalized experiences of love and the underpinning emotional infrastructure, yesprincess writes and sings from a place of openness and empowerment. This is not just a breakup anthem or easygoing meditation on romance but an epiphany put to melody. Her voice, supple and emotionally overwhelming, flows over the song's arrangement with the same ease it would comfort or clash. In it, she embodies a sort of introspective strength that resonates with anyone who's had to make peace with love's changing landscape. "No More" surrounds you in a pillowy, pulsating space. That production is lush and inviting, with a laid-back groove decorated with rhythmic percussion and a slippery melodic architecture that hangs in the air like a simple breeze on a hot night.
The specialness comes from how well yesprincess matches the traditional with the contemporary. Grounded in African musical grooves and rhythms, "No More" also sounds resolutely contemporary, like something you might hear throbbing in the background of a summer rooftop party or playing softly in your headphones while you walk through the city at night. Her distinctive sound is like expanding them and doing so in a way that blends cultural pride with genre-bending artistry. For yesprincess, "No More" is a proclamation. A warm minute of self-definition snuggled in sultry harmonies and heartfelt storytelling. And with her catalog expanding, yesprincess is a voice of emotional honesty and grace, destined for worldwide impact. In "No More," she's making meaning, and it's worth every listen.
