Aya Yves’ releases her stunning new single... “Dear E”

Daring pop maverick Aya Yves has returned with another single for 2020 with “Dear E”. Another ethereal, luscious pop cut, in which she returns assured and inspired by poignant issues of addiction, loss and family ties.

“Dear E.” is Aya Yves’s third single of the year, following up “(in)Sanity” and “Smart Girls”, both of which featured the work of talented producer Xavier Dunn (Jack River, CXLOE, Graace, Carmada, Peking Duk), and were added to rotation on triple j Unearthed. “Smart Girls” found favour with tastemakers like Thomas Bleach, Don’t Bore Us (The Brag), Women In Pop, The AU Review, Forte Magazine and more, bringing a powerful message of strength and girl-power to the fore.

We are absolutely loving this track... Aya’s vocals are the standout, and her incredible melodies are nestled with gorgeous minimal production. Equal parts romantic and lovelorn, it’s the kind of song you’d play staring cinematically outside a bus window thinking about unrequited love.

A mammoth debut, “(in)Sanity” amassed 30,000 streams in just two months, received nationwide radio play on triple j’s Home and Hosed and led to performances for Isolaid, The Tait Show, Marx Matinees and Live In Ya Lounge.

Aya Yves is the brainchild of a Cooma born Canberra native Vendulka. Born from a love of pushing boundaries and breaking expectations, Aya contrasts light airy vocals with dark, brooding and quirky production. The Aya Yves project has been taken far from Vendulka’s folk music roots, however, still manages to keep the vulnerability and unifying connection that folk music is known for.

Standing out with her otherworldly vocal abilities and honest approach to songwriting, Aya Yves is quickly becoming one of the premier emerging faces in Australian pop.
