Yoji’s latest single, “Flustered” featuring Nico Bryant, is a playful and soulful track that beautifully captures the excitement of a budding romance. Inspired by the golden era of Motown duets like Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, the song combines retro vibes with a modern twist, creating a sound that feels both timeless and fresh.
The duet’s storyline is charming, portraying two people caught up in the whirlwind of a new crush. The back-and-forth vocals between Yoji and Nico are lovely, highlighting their chemistry and making you feel the butterflies they sing about. The vintage-inspired melodies and harmonies flow seamlessly with the polished production, giving the track a nostalgic yet vibrant energy.
Yoji’s beautiful voice shines throughout the song, and her ability to blend emotion with catchy melodies is impressive. Nico’s performance adds depth, making their collaboration feel authentic and memorable. The production is smooth, with just the right amount of retro flair to keep things interesting without overshadowing the modern elements.
As someone who loves music that tells a story and makes you feel something, “Flustered” hits all the right notes. It’s the kind of song you can’t help but hum along to, whether you’re dancing around your room or simply daydreaming about your own crush. Yoji has once again proven her talent for crafting music that’s both heartfelt and irresistible. If you’re a fan of soulful pop with a hint of nostalgia, this track is a must-listen. I’ll definitely have this song on repeat for a while!
