.yunamusic talks collaborating with tylerthecreator and her new album 'Rouge'
"It's important to keep collaborations real," Yuna told me. With features on seven of the 11 tracks on her new album Rouge, out today, one might expect more than a few weren't hand-picked by Yuna, but that's emphatically not the case. As Yuna sat down in the NYLON office to talk about her album with me recently, she expressed how naturally everything came together, and how much she was able to assert her creative vision on her latest project.
But selling records doesn't seem like it will be a problem—not with this album's lineup. Nearly every single person on Rouge dropped in at the perfect time, as if the stars aligned: Masego slid into Yuna's DMs offering to pop into the studio with her, resulting in the silky harmonies on"Amy.
But, as with the other collabs, this one fell into place like it was meant to be. During a visit to Los Angeles, Yuna had a fateful meeting with Tyler while out on a coffee run."I drove out there, parked my car, got out, and guess who walks by—on the same street," she excitedly recalled."Someone was just calling out, "Tyler!" and I'm like, Tyler? And then Tyler walks by, eating ice cream, so I say hi.
Tyler was clearly on the same level with Yuna when it came to putting that experience into his verse."I wrote a little bit about the song, and he sent back this amazing verse. There's this line, 'If I was a pair of pants, I'd be looking for a belt/ 'Cause you always bring me down and I'm lookin' for an up,' and only he can do that. The whole sound of it, it's very chill and laid-back, but the message is so strong and kind of sassy as well.
