Yeza Continues Making Headlines With The Release Of “Tek Chat”
Yeza continues to make headlines with the release of her recent trending single “Tek Chat.” It’s not a surprise that the “youth uprising” has been surging across global regions for a decade. The voice of the youth spoken, who generally have “low expectations that the government, corporations, and other institutions will prioritize them or consider their needs. The younger generation is connected to social justice and climate change; these all resonate with Yeza.
YEZA’s latest release, “Tek Chat” (produced by Sinky Beats & Yeza Music), is a Third World/Steel Pulse-esque reincarnation exemplifying meaningful narrations of the youth crying out and effecting social change.
In her own words and citing her inspiration for the track, “It is about time that we acknowledge that the bedrock of Jamaican culture and the fascinating assets that we put on display to sell to foreigners comes from the ‘ghetto minds.’ The ghetto birthed our precious musical genres, the reggae, the dancehall, which all have adopted.”
In tune with her powerful introduction to the track “Keep the vibes up high, and we never gonna let you down!!! Yeza cites many impactful achievements of Jamaicans, such as those sportspersons, fashion, and creatives, amongst others, that have risen from impoverished communities to global notoriety despite their humble beginnings.
These expressions create the solid cultural threads of the island, birthing genres and new sounds of music to top athletes. Yet, these residents are decimated the most by political intervention and lack of opportunities. Yet, Yeza, through her powerful lyricism, may be perceived as calling out the government on these matters. However, it serves as a reminder that the youth, most of all, are holding their leaders accountable for their mandates, which include sustainability and social change for the next generation.
This social commentary, “Tek Chat,” amplified by classic and modern instruments reminiscent of the greats like King Jammy and the significant dub era, is out worldwide (to include the official music video) on Friday, 18th November 2022.

The Melbourne-based artist, singer, and songwriter Sunset Salore, known for her enchanting alternative pop sound, returns with “Call It,” a compelling declaration of self-worth that’s both a breath of fresh air and a sonic revelation. This track, the first sneak peek into her upcoming EP, ‘Love Kills the Monsters,’ draws clear inspiration from the charismatic styles of Florence & The Machine, Meg Mac, and Baker Boy musical influences. It’s a unique blend of haunting melodies and profound lyrics that addresses the frustrations and disappointments of leaving that often go unnoticed but collectively signal that it’s time to make a change or reclaim sanity.
“Call It” doesn’t tiptoe around the issue with anyone ever feeling undervalued in relationships. It dives headfirst into the micro-moments of relationship dynamics that wear down one’s spirit, capturing the decisive moment when one realizes one deserves more and demands better for oneself. Sunset Salore’s assertive vocals soar over an alternative pop soundscape, making it impossible not to feel the empowerment in her words. What makes “Call It” stand out is its ability to convey a universal sentiment through deeply personal reflections that channel vulnerability into strength.
Musically, “Call It” is a shining example of her sophisticated artistry in production. It was written during a crucial stage in Salore’s creative and introspective period, allowing her to dissect those critical life-changing moments. This makes the song relatable and impactful, enhancing the emotional journey without overshadowing the poignant message.
Sunset Salore challenges the societal tendency to shy away from labeling relationships, emphasizing that how we treat each other holds more weight than any label ever could. Her bold assertion, coupled with her enchanting vibes, make “Call It” a sonic anthem for anyone navigating the crossroads of their self-respect and relationship expectations. It simplifies the equation and raises the bar for what we should demand in our relationships and from ourselves.
