Yuna delivers her new album titled Rouge. Available for download and streaming, we already highlighted the Tyler, The Creator track from the project. It is the first song on the list of 11 tracks so you can not miss it.
Yuna brings her perspectives on life, love, and womanhood to the body of work which features Kyle, Masego, jay park, MIYAVI, G-Eazy and more. The Malaysian born singer gets particularly personal on topics like public and private identities and relationships with finely-crafted dance jams and slow ballads alike.
Yuna Zarai has built an impressive international career anchored by successful singles and equally successful albums. “Crush,” her first certified gold track that served as the lead single off her 2016 album Chapters, became her most internationally recognizable hit to date, undoubtedly helped by a feature from fellow R&B crooner Usher.
“Rouge is the color that I feel right now,” says Yuna. “I know it’s the color of a woman. You wear red lipstick when you feel sexy, and you feel confident… This album is it. It’s my rouge lipstick.”
In 2005, when she was 19-years-old and a student in law school, the young artist — born and raised in Kuala Lumpur — appeared on One In A Million, a Malaysian singing contest. Wearing a bright orange scarf, she introduced herself as Yunalis and proceeded to belt out a rendition of “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
“When I came in, in my hijab, I was like, let’s do this,” remembers Yuna. “They’re like, what are you going to sing today? ‘Bohemian Rhapsody.’ They both exchanged faces like, kind of rolling their eyes.”
“You strike me as something special,” remarked Paul Moss, a British judge, at the end of her song. The judge next to him ask Yuna for “something different,” and she delivered a moving performance of an Arabic song popular in Cairo at the time.
