I Ya Toyah - Drama (2024)
I Ya Toyah's album Drama delivers a high level of intensity across its 10 tracks, co-produced with Walter Flakus of Stabbing Westward. The production quality is exceptional, featuring a vocal-forward mix that maintains the drive of the instrumentation. While some tracks exhibit a degree of sameness, the album retains a fresh sound with a singular focus, keeping each track engaging. The opening track, "Afterlight," sets a strong tone with its driving rhythm and passionate vocals, offering a positive perspective on mental health. "Panic Room" stands out with its dirty guitar riffs and industrial drums, building a sense of dangerous urgency. The title track, "Drama," features sparse, double-tracked vocals that juxtapose warm intimacy against jarring instrumentation. Overall, Drama appeals not only to industrial electronic music fans but also to a broader audience, encouraging introspection and outward reflection. I Ya Toyah's rising prominence in the industrial genre is poised to attract wider audiences with this release.
