Luscious and radiant; “Personality” blossoms in blue. Embraced with each artist’s unique musicianship and personality, the track consists of vibrant, kaleidoscopic sound palettes that contrast yet is naturally in harmony. Adapting a unique, vibrant symbol of a blue rose, the sophomore release from YOH contains an affirming message that unites and encourages compassion. YOH, aka, Your Other Half, is a collective identity of Evan Greer, Woody Aplanalp, and Anton Soder. They aim to spread love, promote social change, and make a global impact through music-making and electric live performance.

Evan Greer has electricity in his voice that immediately gives you goosebumps. His vocal style always gives you a little more to grasp on in the slight shift of tones and articulations. He adds a layer of sonic-visual effects to the overall aesthetic. The chemistry between his and Ali Blake’s voice creates a floral texture with a speck of fuzzy swirl that mirrors the blossoming image throughout the song.

The versatile track introduces multi-faceted storytelling with well-sought details that tastefully weave sophistication and contemplation into highly relatable lyricism and sonic texture. A swirling, luscious airy soundscape has a tender, expressive side that slightly shifts its mood throughout the track. Between an oozing drum beat and reverberant percussion in the background, a subtle electrified fuzziness underneath Evan Greer’s vocal charm and poise.

“Personality” adapts a form of simple yet powerful lyricism that manages to add depth and perspectives into the cornerstone four lines of the chorus. The song opens with a hint of melancholy and blue as the lyrics open up vulnerability about rejection and hurt. “If you can tolerate my personality, you’ll see the love coming out of me. my soul in the nude, I’m so beautiful.” While in the second comeback, they immediately introduce a more positive and empowering mindset and advocate people to look beyond the obvious through a cleverly flipping of subjects: “If I could tolerate your personality, look underneath and see your majesty, your soul in the nude, you’re so beautiful.”

“I think people would love each other more if we could learn to see past the ‘masks’ we all wear to protect ourselves. Personalities have a hard time matching sometimes, but I think most people have good intentions.” Greer shared some insight on the inspiration and message behind “Personality.”

Besides the haunting melody that seems to linger in your head forever and the blue aesthetic that brings a special feeling to the track, the outro is another highlight. Amazed by the chemistry and goofy vibe around the four, the outro is a concentrated drop of joy and happiness that has the magical power to uplift any gloominess. Behind the scene, both Anton Soder and Woody Aplanalp mentioned the special moment they had while recording. “That was a big AWW YEAH moment!” said Aplanalp.

All three members of the band were connected through their working experiences with Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Aloe Blacc. “Personality” was released via Blacc Label Entertainment. Aloe Blacc saw YOH’s undeniable potential and work ethic after working with them on a couple of songs and his latest release All Night Long, which YOH produced. “Your Other Half takes a demo and can read the sonic vision so easily for a song so raw, and can also take direction to a point. This team has created a phenomenal catalog of songs that I look forward to the world receiving,” said Blacc.
