Today, rising pop artist YAZ announces her highly anticipated new EP ‘Should I Block Him?’, a sharp and self-assured collection of songs that finds her songwriting at its most compelling. Bringing together her knack for clever pop writing, memorable hooks and emotionally honest storytelling, the EP marks an exciting new chapter for YAZ as she continues to define her voice and step further into her own as an artist. Pre-save here.
Previously released single ‘If We Don’t Know Each Other’ offers an introduction to the world of the EP, with its playful take on the uncertainty of letting someone in. Elsewhere, new tracks, ‘What It Would Be Like’ turns its attention to the lingering questions that can follow an almost-relationship, while ‘I Don’t Have You At All Now’ explores the unfamiliar feeling of life after someone has left it. Together, the tracks offer a glimpse into the different sides of ‘Should I Block Him?’, from the flirtation and overthinking to the more tender moments that sit underneath it all.
Speaking on the EP, YAZ says, “Over the past few months, these 3 songs have had such a strong presence and purpose in my life. I’m really excited for people to finally hear them and hopefully see a bit of themselves in them too.’
‘Should I Block Him?’ arrives as YAZ continues to build momentum as one of pop’s most exciting new voices. Since breaking through with her debut single ‘Mr Valentine’ in 2022, YAZ has gone on to amass millions of streams, earn early support from titles including The Guardian and i-D, and grow a dedicated following across her social platforms. Across two EPs, ‘Wish You Were Here’ and ‘Dancing in My Room’, she has continued to sharpen a sound that pairs bold pop songwriting with an unfiltered take on modern life and relationships.
This EP marks another step forward for YAZ. Combining her witty sense of humour with a more vulnerable side to her songwriting, the track offers a fresh glimpse into what’s next for the Camden-born artist.
First building an audience online from the age of 13, YAZ has spent years developing a distinct voice both on and off the stage. Her music draws on the pop and R&B that soundtracked her childhood, while her writing takes inspiration from real-life experiences, messy relationships and the conversations that inevitably end up in the group chat. With nearly 1.4 million followers across her platforms, YAZ has created a world that feels somewhere between a rom-com and your most chaotic group chat – and she’s only just getting started.
