Yung Oprah’s new EP, “Love Me When I’m Dead” delivers a sound that feels completely fresh, intense and very real. Made up of five haunting tracks, this EP brings out a darker atmosphere than typical commercial music. Each song dives deep into a sense of loss and nostalgia, reflecting the band’s emotional journey through the pandemic. Formed in the summer of 2020 in London, Yung Oprah taps into a unique, post-punk vibe that is both captivating and intense.
The production here stands out as extremely creative and polished. Lester’s work on the music is incredible with a focus on detail that gives the tracks a professional edge. The music is rich, layered and draws you in with its eerie and evocative sound. Alexandre, the band’s frontman, matches this vibe with vocals and lyrics that are memorable and surprisingly catchy, leaving lines that stick with you long after the songs end.
The EP explores dark themes, from questioning the ways of monotheism to wrestling with anxiety and love. The rawness of these ideas comes through in every track, and you can feel the depth of emotion and reflection that went into it. This project came about during a time when connecting with the world was a challenge and that sense of isolation is clear and relatable.
Overall, this album is a solid first release from Yung Oprah. They’ve crafted something that feels authentic and bold and deserves attention. If you’re looking for something unique and aren’t afraid to venture into darker sounds, give this EP a listen. We enjoyed the boldness and originality here, it’s refreshing to hear music that steps away from mainstream vibes and isn’t afraid to get a bit gritty. Follow Yung Oprah to keep up with what they have coming next, we’re excited to see where they take things from here!
