Oakland native Satya, now Los Angeles bound, releases “Yellow House,” a tender ballad tracing scenes from her childhood home through layered lyricism and honeyed harmonies. Built on slide guitar, woody percussion, and intimate vocal textures, the track explores memory with emotional detail. Magnet Magazine premiered the song on February 19, writing, “Satya’s effortless balance of soul/R&B textures and singer/songwriter intimacy feels about as natural as breathing.”
“I left home under really hard circumstances,” Satya shares. “This song is about the anger I carried, the fear I lived with, and the strength I had to build for myself when no one else could do it for me.” She adds, “‘Yellow House’ sits in the tension between beauty and trauma… It’s paying homage to both the warmth and the damage growing up.” Following performances alongside Macy Gray, Madison McFerrin, Masego, and Jason Isbell at the Ryman Auditorium, Satya continues shaping a new chapter.
