Captivating Blend of R&B and Hip Hop From Two of Bulgaria's Most Prominent Artists

Already very well-established in the thriving r&b scene in Bulgaria, as well as previously featured on CLASH Magazine, COLORSxStudios, R&B Nation, Soho Radio, etc., Sofia-based singer Y A N A and producer Gena teamed up for a delicate, yet empowering 9-piece album to further elevate their global presence.

Under My Skin is an intimate journal, outlining Y A N A’s 2022 – a year of contrasts, black-and-white emotions (winking at this with the artworks), and also finding & loving yourself again.

The songs range from sultry r&b, through innermost ballads, all the way to girl-power pop anthems. She shares:

“Under My Skin is a journal. Very intimate, real, vulnerable. It takes you through my fears, desires, parts of myself I’ve never been honest or brave enough to share.

I really let you “under my skin”, both metaphorically and literally, since my body and tattoos are my journal and one of the main inspirations for this album. I love the whole concept of the needle that goes under your skin, hurts you for a bit, but it’s bittersweet enough for you to let it in. To let it leave a “scar” that’s gonna stay with you forever. And you are the one that made that decision. It’s always your decisions that lead you where you are.

I also wrote the names of the songs and the tracklist by hand, since I wanted it to be even more authentic, just like a real journal.” - Y A N A

After building our Stereofox community and supporting artists for over 8 years, starting this label felt like the next logical step and the last missing piece of the puzzle.

We want to follow the same principles of professionalism and integrity we follow when writing features or working with artists. We always put their needs and interests first. We are proud of what we do, and we do it with a positive mindset.

We started Stereofox because of our love for music, eagerness to learn, and the joy of helping others. These things are still in motion and we’re excited to continue our path with the label.

We hope you enjoy the projects we put out and the artists we support. There are tons of talented musicians out there and we're beyond happy to be part of their journey and help them whether that's through the label or on our website.
