October Sky - Yebba - MP3 instrumental karaoke

After collaborating with everyone from Ed Sheeran and Drake (popping into his Certified Lover Boy album) to Chance the Rapper and Mark Ronson, Abbey Smith aka Grammy-winning artist Yebba made her voice heard on her debut 2021 album Dawn, poignantly named after her mother who died by suicide in 2016. The 12-track record—for which she worked closely with executive producer Mark Ronson—features a slew of VIP collaborators like Questlove, The Roots, A$AP Rocky, and Kaytrananda, among others. This Elliott Smith-evoking track sits as the seventh track on the album; a beautiful portrait of grief, memory, adulthood, nostalgia, and loss. "There's a picture of us / In a layer of dust / On the mantle / Right by my cigarettes that I smoke since you left," she sings, her voice supple and melismatic. "'Cause you said you had to fly / In your October sky." "October Sky" was released as a single from the album in 2021.
