The track follows the release of the artist’s stellar recent single ‘love on the run’
Her immersive and instantly captivating alternative pop sound is something that has seen Australian artist Yorke explode in popularity over the last few years, earning acclaim and reverence everywhere from Toyko, to London, to her native country.
Her latest single ‘i wanna hate you’ is the perfect marriage of expansive and fun soundscape melded with a deeply thoughtful and engrossing narrative, exploring the relationships that we have with friends as we go through different stages in life and drift apart and change, losing touch with people we never dreamed we would and living entirely separate lives. It is a really resonating and introspective theme for a track to tackle, and the vibrant and colourful nature of the soundscape does a great job of lifting some of its more melancholy moments into exciting ebbs and flows that capture the rollercoaster of emotions in stirring fashion.
“I wrote this song in London with two incredible collaborators Josef Page and Saint Raymond, and it was actually my first writing session in London ever so I was pretty nervous going into it.” Yorke says. “I’d gotten the tube by myself (lol tourist) and was kinda imagining a very different life to mine – one where I’d taken a gap year and travelled the world with a group of friends and stayed in shitty hostels and lived off dry crackers. It then lead me to think about all the friendships that had come and gone in my life since high school, especially ones I never thought would end. And it really wasn’t a bad or bitter thing, we just grew apart naturally – and that’s okay.”
