Yoko Gold: Mirage
Facing the shimmering reality of life’s challenges, Yoko Gold’s “Mirage” keeps it pushing
Is this the real life? The Toronto artist looks inward on this dreamy release.
Having already set the music world ablaze with dynamic and compelling releases like “Limbo” and “Collection” (with Tory Lanez), Canadian artist Yoko Gold has always seemed destined for big things. For one, even in an incredibly crowded and competitive music industry, Gold has managed to achieve something exceedingly rare: instant success. This isn’t to say he got lucky, though; Gold’s meteoric rise can clearly be connected to a track record of hard work and artistic genius. Although it’s easy to get complacent when success comes so quickly, this rising superstar is showing no signs of slowing down for the foreseeable future.
Born and raised in the vibrant melting pot of cultures and music that is Toronto, Canada, Yoko Gold’s music is like a rich tapestry of different musical influences. Each musical thread is woven together by Gold’s uncanny ability to find common ground and his exquisite ear for melodies. He’s unbelievably talented, sure, but this talent is supported by the foundation that is Gold’s uninhibited love for music and willingness to work to see his dreams and visions come to fruition. Having shown his ability to seamlessly blend with other artists on “Collection” and “Hurts Me” (with Trippie Red and Tory Lanez), releases like “Limbo” and now “Mirage” show that he’s just as if not more transcendent on solo tracks.
Gold’s latest release, “Mirage,” is a testament to the continued evolution and elevation of one of the hottest artists in the game right now. It’s an all-around flawless release, with everything from the instrumentals to Gold’s vocals and lyrics forming a perfectly cohesive musical experience. Clocking in at around 3 minutes, “Mirage” feels like a shimmering dream that you don’t want to wake up from. Even as Gold raps lines like “Life is just a mirage / two kids two door garage / new bitch new phone, car,” his vocals feel so tender and vulnerable that it still feels comforting. In typical Gold style, “Mirage” feels intimate and personal, and it feels like Gold is giving you access to a window into his soul.
Yoko Gold’s “Mirage” feels like the latest impressive stop on what’s quickly becoming an extremely rich musical legacy. Whenever you’re ready, tap in and stream Yoko Gold’s latest release, “Mirage”, available now on all majour streaming platforms.
