Yougn Clancy has just released a smooth, soulful new track titled “Level”, which draws inspiration from rawer, more aggressive 70s soul – The Four Tops, The Ruffin Brothers, Gene Williams. Combined with raw, pulsating production, his idiosyncratic nature is what sets the song apart from his contemporaries.
“Those wild vocal performances, how saturated and beautifully messy some of those records sound.”
As a high school student in Toronto, Young Clancy played in a handful of bands, but nothing stuck. He studied creative writing at university while quietly dabbling in songwriting. As a graduate, Young Clancy found himself somewhat stagnated, bartending full-time at a sleazy steakhouse in Toronto’s financial district. Unsure of what was next, he began taking vocal lessons and teaching himself production on Ableton, gradually making the music he truly wanted to hear: thoughtful, lyrical songs with gritty, inventive production. This culminated in an EP that finally saw the light in 2017 titled Yung Prince of the Basement.
Young Clancy’s new EP, Vol. II, will be available in full on October 4, 2019.
