Black Yaya is the new pop project from David Ivar, frontman and songwriter for Herman Dune. He has written a completely fresh batch of songs, in his own inimitable style but reworked by electronic producer and DJ Yuksek, who is releasing Black Yaya under his label Partyfine.
The result is a winning combination of classic songwriting and dance-party electro fun. The first single is “Paint A Smile on Me”, which is due for release in September around a lengthy European tour. An explosion of colour and sound, the song has a fun party vibe, perfect for the tail end of the summer. The single also features a more mellow, smooth 70s soul inspired b-side “Glad Tidings”. Both songs showcase David’s skill at writing perfect pop tunes with a dark twist, with fantastic, polished pop arrangements.
