“Yes” doesn’t so much knock on the door as it struts through, gold sunglasses on, hips first. It’s slick, cheeky, and contagious in the best way — like catching a laugh at a party just as someone spills their drink in slow motion. The groove rides low and clean, with just enough shimmer to make you feel like you’re in a disco daydream. A bassline that knows exactly what it’s doing, twinkling synths, and a rhythm section that’s tighter than your neighbour’s recycling schedule — this is what happens when VoodooV decides not to overthink and just enjoy themselves.
Lyrically, it’s brilliant nonsense with a wink of critique. Pulled straight from the rabbit hole of OnlyFans bios, VoodooV turn digital-age absurdity into disco poetry. There’s something hilarious and mildly terrifying about how normalised self-marketing has become — and somehow, by leaning fully into it, the song exposes just how strange our world has gotten. “Yes” may sound like a party, but it’s also a mirrorball pointed straight at our collective dopamine-fried brains.
What’s genius is that none of this feels heavy. You can dance to it without needing a degree in cultural studies. But if you’re paying attention, it’s there — that bittersweet aftertaste of humour in a collapsing circus. For me, this one hit like a sugar high with a hint of vinegar. It’s funky as hell, doesn’t take itself too seriously, and yet still made me sit back and think, we really are living in the weirdest timeline, huh?
About VoodooV:
VoodooV, a four-piece groove machine straight from Finland, were born in the depths of lockdown, rising out of jam sessions in a space lovingly dubbed The Bunker. Their debut album “Jamgem” dropped in 2023, stuffed full of funk, rock intensity, and tongue-in-cheek cosmic energy. These aren’t just musicians — they’re jammers, thinkers, and mischief-makers. With nods to 60s psychedelia and 90s funk revival, they stitch together a sound that feels equally suited to festival stages and questionable late-night decisions. And with album two already cooking — this time with Raphael Neikes (of Spiral Drive and Mother’s Cake) at the production desk — we’ve got a feeling the world outside Finland is about to start saying “yes” too.
