Single Focus: Yeo

Staff Writer

"We play this song slightly differently live – there’s extra beats and a helluva lot more energy/shape-pulling."

More Yeo Yeo Profile

Single title? Kobe

What's the song about? Leaving town and making some tough decisions, and looking forward to the future.

How long did it take to write/record? Approximately two weeks, including a heavy editing period. It has since been re-arranged and remixed, which took another two weeks.

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? This track is from a forthcoming EP release, due for this year. It is the second single, one of four songs.

What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? Dancing, Japan, love, the possible end of love, experience and conversations with friends, long distance relationships and the need for change.

We'll like this song if we like... Clams Casino's I'm God, Phantogram's Don't Move, and the idea that following your heart is risky but without regret.
