Rachel Marie – currently releasing music under the name Yona Marie – is a lifelong musician, writer, singer, and producer from the Washington, D.C. area. Yona has captured the internet with her musical talent more than once – her single High went viral in 2013, and another single Just Wanna Love You has accrued over a million streams. Her latest release is a single called Take Me To The Moon, and this throwback R&B track is nostalgic, lighthearted, and fun.
As far as we’re concerned, Take Me To The Moon is an instant summertime hit. With a clear likeness to ’90s and early 2000’s style pop-flavored R&B, this single is full of catchy melodies and spunky, vibrant energy. The harmonies in the chorus are rich and stunning, but Yona’s vocals are a real highlight of the track, showcasing intricate runs and a warm, soulful tone throughout.
It’s no wonder Yona Marie‘s music keeps going viral – it’s truly the whole package. Well-written, well-produced, brilliantly performed – if you’re a fan of a modern pop R&B sound with a definitive retro flair, don’t sleep on Take Me To The Moon. This is the perfect fit for nearly any playlist this summer, but don’t take our word for it – stream it below and get a taste of this sparkling single for yourself.
