Yamê
French-Cameroonian spiritual pop energy
When Yamê released his Colors Show performance of the single “Bécane” last summer, something happened. A biker anthem for our fractured times, the song was the ideal showcase for Yamê’s shape shifting, but instantly recognizable vocals. With its gripping, personal lyrics and propelled by a ridiculously catchy refrain, the song went viral in June 2023. It held firm at #1 on the Global Spotify Viral charts, accumulating over 68 million streams.
Yamê is a French artist of Cameroonian descent. His father is also a musician, and Yamê heard him sing what became his artist name in his music – he has described “yamê” as a spiritual energy that is shared by everyone. It seems fitting – Yamê finds room for a little bit of everything in his music. R&B, hip hop, jazz, different kinds of instruments and music technology, inspirations ranging from the world of arts to politics. At the center of it all, he is simply a remarkable singer, capable of conjuring big and small moments. The rising artist unveiled the ‘ELOWI’ project in October 2023. Each track highlights his lyrical finesse and his capacity to forge profound connections with his audience. Already destined for greater things, this autumn Yamê will meet his growing Norwegian fanbase for the first time.
