The girl-boy duo behind the\u00a0hyped\u00a0“Swimming Pool” track, Yuma X<\/strong> has finally<\/em>\u00a0followed up their hit\u00a0single with a new release on Triple J earlier today. And it’s everything you wanted. Upon first listen, “Matchstick” trickles in the steps of “Swimming Pool” only to emerge with\u00a0it’s own voice. Sound and imagery dance together\u00a0to\u00a0an original synth-pop beat. Its\u00a0melody entrances with a rhythm as smooth as ocean waves in isolation, and the romantic lyrics roll off the tongue with modern poeticism.<\/p>\n

Soft as silk, would you be my jasmine.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Matchstick” is the first step to\u00a0peeling away a layer of mystery from\u00a0Yuma X<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/strong>And\u00a0<\/strong>their\u00a0musical magic to be the real deal: When it comes to chill, synth-pop songs\u00a0Yuma X\u00a0<\/strong>has their sound and style down to the pitch. They’re in the\u00a0hot spot between singing\u00a0in the comfort of your own room and grooving with caution to the wind in a crowded room. “Matchstick” is only available on Spotify and Apple Music right now, so hit play below to listen.<\/p>\n
