Yola - from singing with Massive Attack to a solo album

The first 30 years of my life were fiercely and exclusively collaborative, I’d never done anything on my own before, and then I started learning how to do things on my own, and I realized it’s a very different mindset. So I got used to that dynamic, wrote a bunch of stuff, and I tried to just figure out in what environment I’m most productive - Yola Quartey, a soul singer from Bristol says in an interview with All Music. Her solo debut 'Walk Through Fire' is out now. Listen to her song 'Faraway Look' here, and her performance of 'Unfinished Sympathy' with Massive Attack here.
