JYLHÄ “Queen Bee”

JYLHÄ is an interesting artist who has something quite different to offer to listeners. In her untamed, authentic vocal, the beautiful folkloric instinct seems to shine bright. JYLHÄ’s melodies are a ray of refreshing sunshine with the first rain of spring. It cleanses your soul and awakens your ears — it seems to be the perfect description for “Queen Bee.”

It’s indie pop, but not quite the genre you’re familiar with. JYLHÄ has her own thing going on that invites you to explore her take on the genre. She has the most fascinating vibratos and ornamentations in her melodies that feel so special and intriguing. “Queen Bee” is a wonderful metaphor about reclaiming power and keeping your heart open. The queen bee has all the power. She deserves all the power, but at the same time, she’s afraid to share it with anyone, but then, she’d be alone.

Through the seemingly simple and interesting metaphor, the 15-year-old budding artist tells a tale that everyone can relate to and some of us are experiencing — the fear of opening up your heart, sharing that power with another person. It seems to be a never ending theme in adulthood, yet the older you get, the more difficult you could truly see through the mist. JYLHÄ has all the truth and wisdom in that matter. “Queen Bee” is about female power but it’s also about sharing.

The soundscapes feel just as refreshing as her voice. It’s like a breath of air to a suffocated person. Her music brings the blood back into your body and casts all the smoke and clouds cluttering your mind. “Queen Bee” is upbeat, chill, and pure. It’s sparkling of its naked, natural color, a power that comes from owning to who you are.
