Praise for AYA YVES:
“‘(in)Sanity’ is an ethereal, luscious pop cut. AYA YVES voice is nestled with gorgeous minimal production… Equal parts romantic and lovelorn, it’s the kind of song you’d play staring cinematically outside a bus window thinking about unrequited love.” – Don’t Bore Us (The Brag)
“Aya Yves…makes it clear that she’s one to keep an eye on amongst the strong, ever-crowded fresh faces of pop music.” – PileRats
“Do not be fooled by how peaceful and piano-driven the song starts out, Cooma-born, Canberra-bred, Sydney-based AYA YVES has some belting to do once we get to the chorus thank you very much.” – Project U TV
“‘(in)Sanity’ is a laid back, majestic track that mixes a classic soulpop vibe with contemporary electro, all presided over by Aya’s incredibly emotive vocals. Just one single in, it is clear this new era of Aya Yves is going to be an incredible rewarding one.” – Women In Pop

Aya Yves captivates and haunts with her transcendent new single “(in)Sanity”, which was exclusively revealed by PileRats on March 30th. This stunning piece of art showcases a talent who is set to turn the Aussie music scene upside down.
Layered with smooth, dreamy vocals, passionate lyrics which tell a tumultuous love story, and a hook that will imprint itself into the minds and hearts of all who hear it, Aya Yves has immediately added herself to the ranks of Australian pop divas like BANKS and CXLOE with this debut.
“Einstein is credited with saying, ‘Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results’,” said Aya. “I wrote (in)Sanity in the first few weeks of meeting someone and they had pulled the classic ‘I’m not ready for a relationship’ line. I knew this person was an emotionally unavailable mess and I went into it anyway, and that’s a theme I wanted to highlight throughout the song. When the rose tinted glasses come on, all sane, rational decisions go out the window.”
The track captures the levels, limitations and lengths of sanity when it comes to love, posing the question many of us have been forced to face; “Have we lost our minds?”. The lyrics provide a moment of comfort and unity to everyone who has loved hard and felt broken down by it.

Aya Yves is the new project of singer/songwriter Vendulka, who has transcended her folk-pop background into this anomalous electronic realm. Born from a love of pushing boundaries and breaking expectations, Aya contrasts light airy vocals with dark, brooding soundscapes.
“(in)Sanity”, the debut release from Aya Yves, is a collaboration with Australian producer Xavier Dunn, whose impressive catalogue also crosses genres and styles (Jack River, CXLOE, Graace, Carmada, Peking Duk). Xavier’s production provides an evocative backdrop, over which Aya Yves’ vocals ripple and flutter, telling a familiar tale of love-induced madness.

“To me, music has always been about creating conversation, creating connections. Helping people through whatever emotion they’re feeling at the time – be it positive or negative – it’s a way to share in that feeling together,” said Aya.
Starting off 2020 with a bang, Aya Yves is set to play what will be the first of many festivals as she shares the stage with the Potbelleez at Googfest, setting the tone for a great year to come. With an EP to follow this single later in the year, this enthralling performer is one you’re going to want to keep an eye on.
“(in)SANITY” is available to stream on all platforms now!

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
