Our TapSongz Team loves finding new music whether it may be a new vocalist, alternative band, DJ, or rising rapper. 2019 has been a great year for the industry and we look forward to continued momentum in 2020. We recently came across Yume UnderCover and really enjoyed her sound. We reached out to the rising artist to learn more through an exclusive TapSongz interview.
Yume is initially from France and currently lives in Paris, where she was born. "I began pursuing music when I was younger, I used to sing all day every day," she recalled. Her father wanted her to pursue other matters as opposed to music so Yume stopped singing until she had a 'click' in June 2019, ending the six year silence. "I felt something was missing for all these years and I was frustrated," she told our TapSongz Team. The rising vocalist decided to pursue her passion and developed the name Yume UnderCover, with Yume meaning dream in Japanese and 'UnderCover' as she's had to hide her passion from others for a long time.
Fast forward to today and Yume has without a doubt pursued her passion in full force. "My latest project was covering two Korean songs - the Truth Untold and Epiphany by BTS." Yume is fluent in English, but not as fluent in Korean. After she began rewriting the lyrics she realized they were more powerful and meaningful than the originals and the sonorities were more beautiful in Korean. It was soon time for recording so Yume purchased a microphone and a sound card. "I learned how to use my audio-editing software and recorded Epiphany first because it's the one I felt more comfortable as there was only one singer." The rising artist has high expectations for herself and plans to re-record it soon and re-upload it as she wants it perfect. Our TapSongz Team really enjoyed this single with smooth, soothing vocals.
"The Truth Untold" is another amazing single that Yume released. "I was a bit more comfortable with the materials, but also the language and the song," she said. "The hardest part of recording wasn't singing, it was editing the vocals," Yume added. We think she did a phenomenal job as the song came together very well. Yume has used inspirations of Michael Jackson in her own work as she's loved his voice which is 'perfectly well managed'.
Heading into 2020, Yume is excited about the bright future. "My goals are to record new songs and not only covers, but also write and compose my own," she told our TapSongz Team. She'd also love to become a strong dancer so she could dance while singing. "I would like to create a strong bond with the ones who are or will be listening to my music so I need to become closer to my fanbase. It's very important to me to thank them for being here supporting me and loving what I do!"
Yume noted the radical changes that have occurred to the music industry, particularly the technology and monetization side of things as well as having a strong fanbase and social media, but is ready to overcome any obstacles along the way. Our TapSongz Team enjoyed hearing more about Yume's beginning, latest releases, and plans for next year and we can't wait to follow her journey. Be sure to give Yume's singles a listen below and on SoundCloud and toss her a follow on Twitter to stay up to date with her latest releases!
