Yola was on NPR's Morning Edition to discuss her Dan Auerbach-produced debut album, Walk Through Fire, out now on Easy Eye Sound. "The way that [Yola] taps into the softer, more theatrical side of classic country and soul along with the grit isn't the expected approach in the Americana world she now calls home," says NPR's Jewly Hight. "But she's at the place in her career where she's not about to be boxed in." Listen again here.

Yola marked today's release of her Dan Auerbach–produced debut album, Walk Through Fire, on Easy Eye Sound with a Facebook Live performance of four songs from the new album with Auerbach and friends at his Easy Eye Sound studio in Nashville: "Love All Night (Work All Day)," "Ride Out in the Country," "Faraway Look," and the title track, "Walk Through Fire." You can watch the complete session here.

Yola's debut solo album, Walk Through Fire, produced by Dan Auerbach, is out now on Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound label. The album "showcases Yola's otherworldly vocals and compelling songwriting," says NPR. "It's the work of an artist sure to stun audiences for years to come." "[S]he arrives an instant, incandescent vocal star," exclaims the Sunday Times. "Rich with vibrato and echoing Dusty in Memphis, her singing elevates a sequence of immaculately upholstered songs to greatness ... Walk Through Fire introduces an artist who is unmistakably the real deal." "Can't. Stop. Listening," says the Sunday Telegraph. "A star in the making, for sure."

Yola's debut solo album, Walk Through Fire, out next Friday, February 22, on Easy Eye Sound, is streaming in full all week as an NPR First Listen. Yola's "sonic palette, which spans country, folk, classic soul and '70s-era Britpop; her emotive songwriting, which oscillates between vulnerability and chest-pounding empowerment; and her truly powerful voice," says NPR Music's Brittney McKenna, "abounds on Walk Through Fire, ... [which] showcases Yola's otherworldly vocals and compelling songwriting." McKenna concludes: "It's the work of an artist sure to stun audiences for years to come."

Yola stopped by the Paste Studios in NYC for a live session ahead of her concert at Rockwood Music Hall yesterday.
