YONAKA have announced the release date of their highly anticipated mixtape, Seize The Power, this morning: it'll be with us 15 July. The mixtape delves into themes of empowerment and acceptance, and we can expect it to be rife with soaring vocals and searing instrumentals - it is YONAKA afterall.

On ‘Raise Your Glass’, an Annie Mac ‘Hottest Record in the World’, we see YONAKA at their best. With instantly memorable lyrics, and thriving instrumentation, it captures everything that we love about the band. Anthemic choruses, positive messages and wicked guitar, we couldn't ask for more. 

On the mixtape, frontwoman Theresa Jarvis has said:

“Seize The Power is a collection of songs to empower you. We all possess the power within but through life we are always put down by others, told to be quiet and not express ourselves; this makes us less confident and we lose ourselves. I wanted to take back control and yes, I’m not in control all the time but when I’m there I’m untouchable. This is a wake up call. Anyone can be anything they put their mind to. Be who you want! Everything up until now has led to this moment so take the moment and make it yours and enjoy it.” 

Seize The Power arrives 15 July via Asylum Records. Pre-order it here.
