yungatita – Over You

Review

In the twilight of 2020, yungatita's "Over You" emerged as a quietly profound EP, a mere six tracks that manage to sketch the contours of emotional landscapes with deft precision. Each song, from the contemplative "Bedroom" to the infectious "Check Your Snaps," unfurls like a chapter in a personal diary, collectively narrating a tale of heartache punctuated by moments of introspective clarity. The poignancy of "7 Weeks & 3 Days" and the vulnerability embedded in "Everyone Can See" are not mere reflections of lost love but a cartography of the soul's resilience.

The sonic palette of "Over You" is a delicate balance of wistful indie and dreamy pop, a fusion that yungatita wields with an artist's touch. The EP's standout, "Indie Dream Boy," dances on the edges of whimsy without losing the thread of its underlying emotional gravity, ensuring that each song, no matter how brief, resonates with the weight of genuine experience. Clocking in at a lean twenty minutes, "Over You" is a succinct yet rich exploration of the human heart, a testament to the idea that even the most fleeting melodies can leave an indelible imprint on the memory. As the English poet John Keats once wrote, "A thing of beauty is a joy for ever," and such is the enduring allure of yungatita's musical musings. - Soren
