YEARN’s “Shapeshifter” Explores Emotional Evolution Through Experimental Bedroom Pop

Experience the mix of dreamy sounds and personal meaning in “Shapeshifter”, the new song by YEARN.

“Shapeshifter” is a new song from YEARN. YEARN is the latest music project by Lily Minke Tahar. This new song is also the title song from her upcoming album, “Shapeshifter”. It is set to be released on July 11. The song has a really different story behind it. It comes from vivid dreams of Tahar and her own life experiences with tough times.

The song “Shapeshifter” was created quickly. It takes inspiration from a book called “Cosmicomics”. Tahar started working on this song with a guitar, a cheap amp, and a basic microphone. She felt free to let the music

speak. She has tried various ways to play the strings to create unique sounds. She used this simple recording style as a base for all the songs on the album.

“This song has parts of jazz in the background, with clever musical touches.”

The album is a mix of different sounds, from simple bedroom-style recordings to brighter studio sounds. Tahar has played all the instruments herself. Before this, Tahar made music under the name Minke. She used music to help her through her gender transition in 2022. “Shapeshifter” is her way of honoring that important experience. This song is a mix of different styles, showing the journey of Tahar and her unique way of making music.
