Rolling in from southern Africa’s bustling music scene, singer/songwriter iYA drops the single “Tired Of It (Up All Night),” a beautiful mural of emotional fatigue, displacement, and love soured. A compass for those that feel lost within whirlwinds of unrequited love, iYA’s track (which is lifted from her recently released album In My Feels) spills emotion with every beat.
The opening verse lays bare the reality of silenced screams and lonely dialogues that sprawl through sleepless nights, shedding light on painful twists of romance. It’s a voyage through a soundscaped battlefield: balancing the constant refrain of being tired against the war cry of a heart on the cusp of calling it quits.
As iYA searches for elusive joy, she bares the loneliness that comes with suffering through a one-sided love, nodding to the fact that certain repairs require more than just a quick patch-up.
As the bouncy ballad continues, the graceful and gorgeous young singer makes a shift from vulnerability, taking on a self-awareness, and ultimately a stronger stance. The track invites you on her transformative journey, shaded by tranquil yet poignant melodies melting on a backdrop of soft piano notes and drumming that wears its African influences on its sleeves.
In essence, “Tired Of It (Up All Night)” is iYA’s stark, emotional commentary enclosed in the intimate circle of love’s limits. Don’t sleep on this track — it’s a layered, resonating echo of a love that’s braved the storm.
