The 'Genre-Fluid' Yola Dazzles Dallas With Her Powerhouse Voice.
The British-born, Nashville-based singer-songwriter Yola makes it a point to highlight the slippery stylistic nature of her songs, so much so that her merch booth features a T-shirt emblazoned with the phrase she uses to describe her sound: “Genre-fluid.”
Throughout her roughly 90-minute set Friday at The Studio at the Factory , the Grammy-nominated artist shifted smoothly from bouncy, folk-pop anthems to shadow-streaked soul and gospel, her sweet and steely multi-octave voice matching the moment with grit and grace. Multiple times throughout the night, the crowd of a couple hundred chanted her name as the songs, performed by Yola and her backing quintet on a simply furnished stage, drew to a close: “If I could blush, I’d be blushing,” she confessed midway through.Stand for Myself.— the material grapples with being an ally , sprinkles a breakup with disco dust and masks acidic political commentary with luminous melody .
From first note to last, the star of the evening was, as always, Yola’s incomparable voice, full and fierce and flattening.
