YAOUNDÉBOXINGCLUB x tmdistant - Did It My Way (Single)
Fresh off her debut EP I Thought I Knew You, Boy Was I Wrong which has received significant editorial support on Spotify— with “Carry Me Away (I Wanna Feel)” and “When the Movie Ends” being added to New Music Friday UK, Our Generation, Fresh Finds, Fresh Finds: UK & IE and an alternative future, singer-songwriter and producer YAOUNDÉBOXINGCLUB isn’t slowing down yet as she unveils her new single, “Did It My Way”, a stunning collaboration with Essex-based alternative artist tmdistant.
Built over an upbeat indie pop production by Song Higginson, the triumphant song explores the importance of self-worth.
“I guess I’m a nice person who always tries to help others out when I can and even when I can’t sometimes, and that really hasn’t worked out in my favour. People tend to take advantage of that and I know it. I used to let it slide, until recently, when I realised that I wouldn’t get where I want in life if I didn’t put myself first. This song is about that realisation.” .
Citing John Mayer, The 1975, Valley, SZA and Paramore as some of her influences, YAOUNDÉBOXINGCLUB’s emotionally-driven indie pop songs built over vibrant productions have amassed over a quarter of a million streams on Spotify alone since December 2019.
She is characterised by her wavy productions, poetic lyrics and warm voice. Based in both the UK and France, MJ (as some of her friends call her) defines herself by not defining herself and her music, letting her creativity flow and not limiting herself to a specific genre of music. Writing, producing and mixing all of her music, she wants her music to speak for herself and represent who she is: a free spirit.
Her releases such as “Young”, “Carry Me Away (I Wanna Feel)”, “When the Movie Ends”, and “NIGHTRIDE” have garnered attention and support from tastemakers such as Fashionably Early, DMY, DNü, Atwood Magazine, as well as editorial support on Spotify playlists; New Music Friday UK, Our Generation, Fresh Finds, Fresh Finds Pop, Fresh Finds R&B, All New Indie and an alternative future.
