The pioneering producer and retro-electro-loving songwriter Yung Bae is back on the scene with his long-awaited follow-up album Groove Continental: Side B. He’s collaborated with another impressive list of musicians on this album from Nile Rodgers and Mayer Hawthorne to COIN, Barney Bones, and more! Side B is stacked with nine unique songs that defy any single genre’s definition while still feeling soulful and nostalgic with Yung Bae’s signature stylings.
“Control” featuring John The Blind is one song that immediately stood out on a first listen through the album with those spiffy horns and catchy vocals. The horns make a return on the yearning album finale that asks the eternal question, “Does Anybody Love Me?” Then there’s the visual side of the album, with four of the tracks having videos on Yung Bae’s YouTube, including “Fight My Demons” with Barney Bones and Leven Kali which accompanied the album’s release at midnight on October 6.
Another exciting part of Yung Bae’s release weekend is his day/night, full-venue takeover at Brooklyn’s lauded club, Elsewhere. This Saturday, October 7, he’ll play a pair of 2-hour sets — one an evening affair to close out the afternoon rooftop party and then a club set into the morning in the main hall.
He finishes the month with shows out in California next week before appearances at Live Out Festival in Monterrey, Mexico and Suwannee Hulaween in Florida. To keep up with the rest of his 2023 tour dates and new video releases, connect with his social links below.
