A dance floor is a place of release. Euphoria, transcendence, abandon: club music elicits all of these feelings. Yet because of the heightened emotional state that the best dance-pop encourages, listeners are often wide open to persuasive, empathetic messages. American singer-songwriter Yevae has done a lot of hard thinking about how to move the crowd, and she's put those observations into practice on a series of dizzying disco-pop singles. She's also determined to take things deeper than many artists are willing to go. Through her writing, she's confronted issues of trust, betrayal, mental health, healing, self-determination, and autonomy, and through her videos, she's brought those visions to life with clarity and conviction.
