With light drum beats weaving between a sparkling wave of afro-esque melodies, the track exudes an infectious and sun-kissed persona. JyellowL showcases his evolving sound through this rich, full-bodied tune; soft keys and tropical hues shimmer through a warm guitar refrain to create a radiant backdrop while his smooth vocals effortlessly narrate over a catchy melody. These subtle musical elements are joy to listen to and reveal more about the artist’s musical aesthetic with each subsequent listen.
‘See Me Finish’ is an easy on the ears gem that oozes JyellowL’s melodic wizardry and eloquent lyrics. Looking forward to the upcoming EP ‘shades of yellow’.
Speaking about ‘See Me Finish’, JyellowL said: “I was in Nigeria for what was meant to be a short trip but due to covid restrictions I ended staying for two months. So I decided to tap into the music scene there and I got a crazy wave of inspiration from the incredible producers and artists I met. Tee-Y being one of them, we locked in and created some beautiful music. In Nigeria, we have an expression called “see finish” which means over familiarity by making yourself too accessible to someone, being too kind, etc essentially being taken for granted and that’s a red flag. So saying “she don see me finish” means the girl in question had over familiarised herself with me to the point of taking me for granted, my kindness being taken for weakness, my presence losing novelty. I can’t have that, so I had to cut her off.”
