London-based artist Yoji is an exceptional talent in the soulful pop world, celebrated for her skills as a singer, pianist, producer and award-winning songwriter. Over the years, she’s developed her sonic abilities, earning a Master’s in Popular Music from Goldsmiths and earning a reputation as an artist with a compelling creative vision.

With a knack for blending heartfelt emotion with technical precision, her catalogue spans pop, R&B and dance music, showcasing collaborations with artists like Talay Riley and Hannah V. She’s attended exclusive writing camps by Tileyard and BMI, further staking her claim as a respected figure in the music industry.

Capturing her artistic vision in the studio for almost a decade, she first unveiled her sound in 2015 with the debut single “I Need More,” which she’s since followed up with multiple well-received singles, remixes and two EPs, securing critical acclaim and extensive radio support. She’s also a key member of the trio SOULiloquy, whose debut album earned BBC 1Xtra’s Track of the Week spotlight. Whether performing in front of 20,000 people at London’s O2 Arena as a support act for Kool & The Gang or on stage in the West End, Yoji’s live presence is as impactful as her recorded music.

Now, Yoji returns with “Flustered,” her latest single and a playful homage to the timeless charm of Motown duets. Featuring Nico Bryant, the track takes cues from iconic collaborations like Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell and Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway. Wrapped up in a vintage musical fabric and instilled with Yoji’s instantly catchy songwriting, the single serves up a sepia-toned, wistful jam that’s utterly alluring.

Brought in by a mellow rhythmic shuffle and softly twanging guitar notes, Yoji’s bright vocals glide in to spin blissful melodic leads backed by smooth vocalisations. With Nico’s voice adding rich colour to the arrangement, the pair lay down a stunning duet trading overlapping lines above the grooving instrumentation to cast an enchanting sound that’s impossible not to love.

Brimming with retro charm and memorable melodic writing, “Flustered” sees Yoji and Nico Bryant put their vocal panache on full display to deliver an enduring and soulful track that’s sure to win over fans around the world.
