Yuna Ft. Usher - "Crush"

Has the Org covered Yuna's "Crush" yet?

-

-

I read that Pharrell's her mentor.... This is the only song I heard from her but I can appreciate her cool vocal style and image. We desperately need more diversity in mainstream Pop music.

-

-

Learning more about her..Here's something from Billboard:

-

-

"But despite the warm welcome, Yuna still sometimes deals with criticism and condescension when it comes to her image. "People say, 'You should let your hair out; you shouldn't be oppressed -- you're not in Malaysia anymore. You should show your curves and be proud of it.' But I am proud -- it's my choice to cover up my body. I'm not oppressed -- I'm free."

-

Yuna loves Rihanna's music, praising several tracks from Anti, but doesn't feel the need to dress (or undress) like her. "It's easier to just be me and not try to look like her," she says. "I have nothing against Miley Cyrus onstage being herself, but girls like Adele and Andra Day, we don't get enough credit. We have talent; we don't count on the extra stuff. We just want to play music."

This song is the bomb and some of her other stuff is good but I can't say her voice works with some of the music. She could be the bomb songwriter and RnB music could use her.
