Told Ya!

'(Sometimes These South London Streets Remind Me Of) Brooklyn' has finally been officially released as a single  via my band Sabatta to coincide with the UK premiere of  A Movie Image in the London Film Festival on Sat 8 October 2016. I play the role 'Big Ben'  and also play the song in the film.

'(Sometimes These South London Streets Remind Me Of) Brooklyn' is available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, TIDAL, Bandcamp, CD Baby and all major online outlets now.

An early extended version of the song appears on the album
Yinka Oyewole - Whirlwind Since The Day (2014 - I Blame The Parents Records) dubbed 'Brooklyn' https://iblametheparentsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/yinka-oyewole-whirlwind-since-the-day
The song was inspired by my travels between London and New York, I'm struck by similarities between the parts of Brooklyn (Crown Heights/BedStuy/Bushwick) and my native in South London (Elephant and Castle/ Camberwell/Peckham/Brixton) - the changes especially.

You Don't Need No Permission to Be Yourself

Some have heralded him as 'the missing link between Talking Heads and Prince' others as the bastard child of Sly Stone and Queens of the Stone Age but London based is carving out a niche all his own.

Having fronted critically acclaimed rock band SABATTA, Yinka started on a new journey in 2012 - fusing funk, hip-hop, soul, rock and more. He also often draws upon his Nigerian heritage via syncopated rhythms, while seamlessly weaving these elements together with excellent storytelling, insistent grooves, unrelenting hooks and soulful vocals, Yinka creates that rare combination - music that makes you move to and gives you something to think about.

Yinka has played across the globe - including the UK, USA, Sweden, Turkey and France. He has shared stages with the likes of Janelle Monae and Saul Williams.Yinka has also maybe several film and TV appearances due to his powerful image and charisma - he's even playing guitar in James Arthur's debut video. Uncompromising and defiantly individual, Yinka is as true an artist as you will ever see.
