French pop singer YPALE has made his home in Bali, Indonesia, since 2015, and the serenity of this location permeates every aspect of his sound, with its rich culture and breathtaking landscapes providing incredible inspiration, while the traditional music of the Balinese people finding its way into his vibrant electronic style.

While YPALE is a classically trained musician, first playing piano from the age of 10, and composing sonatas, rondos, and symphonic pieces from 13, he came upon his current style in 2012, when he began fusing his classical music with more contemporary pop electronica. His latest single, ‘Straight To My Heart’, has clear 80s influences, reminiscent of the likes of Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, and Spandau Ballet. While this might be partly due to producer Adrian Hall, who made his name working with not only Depeche Mode, but also Alicia Keys, and the Black Eyed Peas, it’s YPALE’s voice with the pure 80s sound, and its very pleasing tones will find wide appeal.

‘Straight To My Heart’ is out now, and can be streamed and downloaded here.
