yunè pinku returns with new EP ‘Scarlet Lamb’. The pop hyphenate is embracing the coming of Hallowe’en, with gothic imagery permeating her latest work. Fusing together lush melodies and the space offered by trip-hop adjacent production, yunè pinku also cites some key literary influences.
Listen closely and the gothic themes unfurl across the EP, with the songwriter citing Victoriana such as Jane Eyre, Dracula and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein as key influences. The whole EP works perfectly together, with each song speaking to the next in a succinct journey of personal evolution. yunè pinku comments.
.. ‘Scarlet Lamb’ is an exploratory project of innocence and guilt through a subversion of the Sacrificial Lamb fable.
Most of the songs are led by some sort of grapple with senses of shame, or ecstasy. It’s a change, sonically, for me, leaning more into trip-hop and alternative electronic spaces and definitely takes a lot of inspiration from my own recent music-taste. Tune in now.
