    She brings a different style and approach to nearly every song, veering from brassy wail to folky prim (“October Sky”), from Adele-sized power (“Love Came Down”) to breathy sultriness (“Distance”). ... Anyone with functioning ears can hear this album and know what an exceptional talent is at work.

    Throughout Dawn, she exhibits wit and exemplary control and the blurred genre lines on the album are her playground.

    ‘Dawn’ is the product of years of curation, brimming with emotion and beautifully articulated lyrics.

    It took me a while to actually write this review, I wanted absorb this record, really take in the experience YEBBA was conveying to herIt took me a while to actually write this review, I wanted absorb this record, really take in the experience YEBBA was conveying to her listeners. Her grief was a sad blessing, it helped her create a body of work that is literally out of this world. The album has zero skips and each song tells a-little bit of who YEBBA is. A daughter who lost her momma, a fighter, a lover, someone dealing with grief and death all these different layers are spoken about in this record. I urge anyone and everyone to take a moment, sit down, be still, and play this record. It is a treasure trove of healing and knowledge. I usually break down my favorite songs on an album but every song is essential, every song needs to be heard, so play press play. YEBBA your momma is so proud, may god rest her soul and your incredible strength to share your story.… Expand
