Andie Yagher breaks into retro tones in her new single, “twenty something.” Yagher’s music flourishes on enchanting guitar strings, her warm voice, and poetic lyricism. Although “twenty something” is a step away from what we’ve heard, the kicks, punches, and small victories in the path of self-discovery are refreshing. The hidden loneliness on the dancefloor, the ache for nostalgia, the trials of standing up, and the weakness of the burnout are true to the organic nature of Yagher’s music. Her lyrics, “Raise the stakes and see/ Keep running,” activate euphoria, the side effect of climbing to the top of the mountain.
Don’t worry, what we love about Yagher’s music is still there. The strumming pattern captures the folk-like sound, perfect for a story around the campfire. Piano notes in the minor key add a twinkle to the song. It’s as if we’re admiring the shimmering life of success, while accepting how far we have to go. As the stomp-and-holler beat pushes us to run, Yagher offers triumph with an '80s-inspired guitar riff. The sharp, electric strings jolt with the familiarity of “we’re halfway there,” from “Living On A Prayer.”
Andie Yagher unfolds more stories in the acoustic pop, folk, and country genres. She was born in Los-Angeles and found a passion for singing and songwriting at a young age. Yagher continued her passion as a member of the jazz ensemble and jazz singers, while attending the Harvard-Westlake School. She graduated from Sarah Lawrence College in New York with a bachelor’s degree in Film and Theatre. Andie Yagher brings her creativity together in her songs to create immersive escapes.
