Iyuana gave her first solo performance at the age of 5, a rendition of Whitney Houston&#8217;s, &#8216;The Greatest Love Of All&#8217; &#8211; setting her up for a lifetime of music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iyuana is a proud southern artist, whose original sound has been carefully cultivated to allow her to defy both genre and expectations. She&#8217;s built up a strong local following over the past few years, and now is ready to translate that to the wider stage, with her tracks that carry with them unwavering enthusiasm and an unmistakable power to uplift everyone who tunes in &#8211; regardless of age or background. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New single, &#8216;RIDIN &amp; SLIDIN&#8217; is a bona fide people mover, with Iyuana effortlessly raising the groove and filling the atmosphere around her with irrepressible energy. Her vocals are both easygoing and confident, welcoming all who listen, and encouraging them to come and join in on the fun. She&#8217;s supported by a propulsive bassline, alongside floaty guitars, and funky horns, coming together as one to show that we&#8217;re all here to celebrate life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The music video for &#8216;RIDIN &amp; SLIDIN&#8217; takes that enthusiasm and amplifies it several notches more. Iyuana is captured in all her glory, with what seems to be a family reunion in her hometown. Everyone&#8217;s ready for a line dance, and the choreography has been planned so it&#8217;s accessible for everyone. Even if you&#8217;re not a natural dancer, it&#8217;s impossible to resist getting up and giving it a go, joining in with the smiling crowd in the clip, and Ridin&#8217; and Slidin&#8217; along with them, as Iyuana calls out the moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get your dancing shoes on and join in on the music video for &#8216;RIDIN &amp; SLIDIN&#8217; below, and find out more about Iyuana and her music online on her official <a href=\"http:\/\/oneprizerecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/iyuanapatricemnm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iyuanapatricemnm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@iyuana.childs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TikTok<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8eELiiz7WRw?si=T1Y7-zUQtulL1Kk9\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iyuana has got us moving and grooving to a brand new song with her single and music video, &#8216;RIDIN &#038; SLIDIN&#8217;. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":91822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"Iyuana has got us moving and grooving to a brand new song with her single and music video, 'RIDIN & SLIDIN'.
