When the artist Yolanda Quarterly, now better known as Yola, was just a bump in her mother s belly, she was already bopping to music. Yola s mother was a registered nurse, who used to DJ at a hospital s mental health unit. Disco and soul, sounds Yola would hear before entering the world, would go on to influence her later in life.
Yola burst onto the American music scene in 2019 with her debut album,
Walk Through Fire, which received four Grammy nominations. At that point, she had already spent 20 years in the music industry in her native England, writing songs for other bands and singing with groups like Massive Attack.

Verdict: Strong sequel
Any fears that the guardians of Prince s musical legacy might be scraping the barrel can be safely dispelled for now.
The late singer s third posthumous album isn t quite up to the standard of his 1980s classics Purple Rain and Sign O The Times, but it isn t far off.
The latest dispatch from his Paisley Park vault, Welcome 2 America, is the most comprehensive piece of work to emerge since his death in 2016 from an accidental overdose of painkillers.
It was made in 2010 and mothballed as Prince went on tour, but it reiterates his genius as a soul man, rock singer and funk musician.
