‘ye ye ye ye ye ye. Ye ye ye’ is the first collaboration between electronic music producer Uliana YUVI Avteniuk and indie project renie cares. The song is described as ‘a soundtrack for the state when you want to hide under a blanket, but instead you go out into the night’
According to producer Sasha Musevych (part of renie cares), the first versions of the track were created for The Unsleeping during the shooting of the show ‘Artyleriia’. They were sent to YUVI, who finalized the arrangement.
‘We partially kept the part that YUVI finalized and removed and rewrote everything else. So the track was born or reborn from the ashes in parallel with the lyrics, based on the drum part that YUVI brought in. We kept that part and a few other details. Everything else was redone with my own hands, but with two heads. Because Ulia was next to me and we decided what we needed and what we didn’t need’, Musevych said.
The lyrics to ‘ye ye ye ye ye ye. Ye ye ye’ were written by Ira Panchuk (lead singer of renie cares), so the track became the first in YUVI’s discography where not her lyrics are used.
‘Broken beat that cuts through space. The voice that speaks for you And the truth you don’t want to hear but have to accept: depression is not you. It comes and goes. But you always stay’, the track’s description reads.
