Yungwall Channels Spirit and Identity with “Cleopatra”
Rising artist Yungwall is making a deeply personal, but musically exceptional, artistic statement with his debut track "Cleopatra," recorded in his bedroom studio in Uppsala, Sweden. He draws inspiration from artists like Kanye West's early soulful work and the thoughtful lyricism of Kendrick Lamar. He crafts a sound that is both nostalgic and new. With smooth, self-produced beats and lyrics that convey love, longing, and the journey of self-reflection, "Cleopatra" is a song of depth.
The song is entirely written, produced, and recorded by Yungwall himself, which contributes to its authenticity, and its DIY character is palpable and caught. The production feels warm and sonic, with rich vocal layers and introspective verses that lean into his ability to draw from his lived experience, creating awakened emotional art.
"Cleopatra" is born from the experience of a long-time crush, and embodies the bittersweet tension that exists in one's admiration and distance from someone from a distance, perhaps an experience that embodies raw self-vulnerability.
Ultimately, Yungwall balances wit, musicianship, and raw emotional truth: catchy and engaging, "Cleopatra" invites the listener into what Yungwall calls his “sphere of thoughts.” As a debut made 100% from home, Yungwall displays not just skill but artistic vision, which suggests that this creator is on the rise.
