Xylø’s ‘yes & no’ offers six-tracks full of cheery, dark pop goodness

Xylø is an electro-pop artist out of Los Angeles and I just wanted to share her EP with you, mostly because it is only six tracks and it contains really good vibes, sounds and an incredible insight into her music. The title track single ‘yes & no‘ is really good and gives off strong Billie Eilish vibes, and worth a listen in its own right.

While the rest of the EP does not follow the same formula of the dark, electro-pop sounds of its opening single, each other song offers its own strong performance.

You have a great follow-up with ‘ride or die’, a vocal heavy soothing pop anthem with ‘the end’, a slow building beat heavy anthem with ‘ordinary’, an atmospheric melody-heavy single with ‘bad habit’ and a brightly made pop single with ‘illusion’. Xylo’s ‘yes & no’ is a finally put-together EP that does not stray away from what it really is… a pop record with a lot of stories to tell.

I previously wrote about Xylø when she released her single ‘I Don’t Want To See You Anymore‘ on the website and played Xylø’s follow-up single ‘Tears & Tantrums‘ on the radio program back in 2018, however, since then I had been oblivious as to what Xylø was working on, until I stumbled across her brand new EP ‘yes & no’, which was released on May 31.

I hope you enjoy the EP as much as I did. Xylo’s ‘yes & no’ is now out through Pretty Records.
