Singaporean glitch pop artist Yeule staked a claim for alt-pop stardom with last year’s beguiling and brilliant Glitch Princess, an album that fused her sonic interests into a singular style that sounded incredibly future focussed. One of those interests was a shoegaze, soft-rock sensibility, noticeable in the mellow way her soundscapes unfolded and in her dreamy melodies, sung softly like an android Jewel.
Yeule’s latest single and first on new label Ninja Tune, Sulky Baby, is a full deep dive into this style. The glitch wonky electronica is scaled back, revealing a breezy 90’s campus rock ballad that sways gently across touches of electronic accents that only deepen its overall dream-like effect. It’s reminiscent of Grimes’s banjo-led Delete Forever, a cozy, sort of sentimental lullaby that cuts through the algorithm and reveals Yeule’s impressive multidimensionality.
