LP. Yello - the pioneering Swiss electronic duo are back with a new studio album for 2020 and ‘Waba Saba’ is the new single to kick it all off! Driven by a rhythm born from the romantic union of a fiery charleston and a sunny samba and sprinkled, of course, with the vocal musings of Dieter Meier, whose dedication to the cause of nonsensical earnestness is impeccable, as he recites a percussive list of rhymes and alliterations of mysterious meaning: “I want one more chance / Don’t want to lose my pants”. ‘WabaDuba’ is a three-minute concentrate of Dada wit, self-irony and exuberance. In other words, typically Yello –and typically unforgettable. 'Waba Duba’ is the first single from the new Yello album ‘Point’, released later this summer. A Yello album is like a magical mystery tour. We may know where the journey starts but we have no idea where it will end.
