Y The Ghost – Find Us (Beyond) (2022)
Described by Vents Magazine as “channelling influences varying from ‘80s pop to dramatic film scores…”, Y The Ghost is a glittering psychedelic pop infusion in the modern-day pop scene. Known for his intimate, intense and evocative songs, singer-songwriter Jacoby Elliott shares his unique work with listeners, readers and, well, everyone. Featured on press from Vents Magazine, Lost In The Manner and Impose Magazine, Y The Ghost is turning heads on an international level. The latest addition to his discography is ‘Find Us (Beyond)’.
In collaboration with the global music initiative Beyond Music, founded by Tina Turner and Regula Curti, Y The Ghost joins several industry professionals to “jointly develop innovative pieces of music across cultures and genres.” In 2021, Jacoby Elliot took part in creating an album revolving around the universal theme of conflict. Working with Kate Northrop and Elisa Giannina van den Berg, Elliot expressed the essence of Beyond Music through the single ‘Find Us’ – not to be included on the next Beyond Music album but just as important for the platform.
Released under Elliot’s stage name Y The Ghost, ‘Find Us’ traverses issues of isolation, exclusion, inner turmoil and vulnerability. While there is a strong synth-driven feeling to the pop single, the incorporation of guitars and Northrop’s harp enhances the cinematic soundscape. Moreover, the use of organic and electronic instrumentation in the melodic arrangement makes the tune all-encompassing trying to find the delicate balance between genuine and synthetic realities. The textured male and female vocals also contribute to a universal concept of “coming together” as a whole – united, not isolated.
In addition to the rich, kaleidoscopic and flowing single ‘Find Us (Beyond)’, Y The Ghost released a hand-drawn official lyric video. You can view the video below or on Y The Ghost’s YouTube Channel.
