Today, Wednesday, January 29th, New York City-based musician/producer Yuno is sharing his self-directed official video for his new single, ”True,” a breezy new song that marries trap and dream pop, available today worldwide on all DSPs from Sub Pop.
Yuno, who also stars in the charming official video for “True,” offers this, “Essentially, it’s a visual representation of what a lovers-quarrel feels like for me. From feeling like a knight in shining armor fighting to win my love back to charming my way through it in front of a heart-strewn backdrop. Whatever it takes to be on good terms by Valentine’s Day.”
“True” was written and performed by Yuno, co-produced by Yuno and Frank Corr at Livingrooms Studios in Queens, NY, and Yuno’s House in Bushwick, NY, with additional production and instrumentation from Sylvan Esso’s Nick Sanborn at Betty’s in Durham, NC, and Patrick Wimberly (Chairlift) at The CRC in Brooklyn, NY.
“True” is also the first new material from Yuno since the release of “Somebody,” his standalone single from 2021, and the 2018 EP, Moodie, which features his breakout single ”No Going Back.”
“True” will also be found on Yuno’s forthcoming full-length debut out later this year on Sub Pop.
Yuno will also appear at the 2025 NonCommvention in Philadelphia on Tuesday, May 6th, 2025.
What people have said about Yuno:
“… Hits that sweet spot between nostalgia and feeling fresh, the perfect combination for an indie earworm that ends up being a huge smash.” [“No Going Back”] Pigeons and Planes
“Bouncy and bright…” [“No Going Back”] Gorilla Vs. Bear.
“Drifting digital pop casting a bittersweet spell.” [“No Going Back”] CLASH
“An early entry into the race for song of the summer.” [“No Going Back”] NPR Music
“‘No Going Back” insists what we’re all thinking for the new pop wunderkind: Only forward.” [“Best New Track”] Pitchfork
“Yuno follows the footsteps of the psychedelic pop of the Beach Boys and the genre-warping arrangements of more recent acts like Animal Collective and Tame Impala…” BUST
“‘No Going Back’ is all big-beat pop sugar in the vain of Unknown Mortal Orchestra, with timeless, summery hooks that it’s not difficult to imagine being delivered by The Jackson 5.” [Moodie] Bandcamp Daily
“On “Somebody,” Yuno melds skittering pop and warped hip-hop with catchy-as-hell emo. The track revolves around his ultra-slick vocals, ringing out over flickering beats and uplifting guitar strums.” PASTE
“Emo-pop and mid-naughties trap are two other ingredients in the song’s heady recipe, and Yuno makes them all feel like natural partners.” [“Somebody”] The FADER
Surprise! Today, Yuno has returned and stars in the official video for “Somebody,” his irresistible emo-pop single, directed by Jordanna Koffsky. The song is his first new recorded output since the release of 2018’s Moodie and is available now worldwide from Sub Pop.
Yuno says of the single, “Spending so much time at home during the pandemic brought back a lot of feelings from my adolescence. I grew up as somewhat of a loner–spending most of my time isolated in my bedroom, and I wanted to capture the parallels between my life now and the life of my younger self. I drew a lot from the pop-punk, post-hardcore, reggae, and southern hip hop that I’ve loved throughout my life. I feel like my 14-year-old self would be very proud.”
“Somebody,” was written by Yuno Moodie, produced by Moodie and Christoph Andersson, mixed by Andersson and mastered by JJ Golden.

Yuno’s Moodie, his debut EP, is now available worldwide on Sub Pop.
Yuno has directed an official video for his reworked single “Sunlight,” which is now available in its new form through all DSPs today via Sub Pop.
The “Sunlight” single is an ode to joy, and it’s collage-like visual follows Yuno spending time with friends and creating music. He says of the video, “This song is about longing to be with someone you care about. I just started touring last year, and I got to meet a lot of people in person that I’ve been friends with for years. I was also far away from people I care about. I wrote this song a long time ago, but I wanted to update it and capture the feeling of how relevant it is in my life right now.” The “Sunlight” rework was co-produced by Yuno and producer Lars Stalfors (Lil Peep, HEALTH, Bob Moses, Matt and Kim).
Yuno’s “Sunlight” along with his breakout single, “No Going Back,” are currently featured in the hit Netflix film, The Perfect Date (see Refinery 29 April 24th).
Yuno’s Moodie, his first-ever collection of songs, is available now worldwide through Sub Pop. Moodie was written, performed, and produced by Yuno.
What people are saying about Yuno: “An early entry into the race for song of the summer.” [“No Going Back”] -NPR Music
“‘No Going Back” insists what we’re all thinking for the new pop wunderkind: Only forward.” [“No Going Back”, Best New Track] -Pitchfork
“A masterfully written song, but instead of being polished to a bore, it feels handmade, with a fuzzy guitar solo, meaty bass, and a euphoric bounce.” [“No Going Back”] - Pigeons & Planes
“Yuno’s lithe voice floats amidst the cheerful soundscape, bouncing off the plucky piano keys… the brand of sunny pop displayed on ‘No Going Back’ should earn him his own cult fanbase.” - Impose
“It’s light and breezy indie-pop, with warm and bouncy synth-lines softly coloured overck with warm piano melodies and guitar solos. His vocals – fitting beautifully into the current psychedelic renaissance spearheaded by the likes of Tame Impala and Washed Out – pour out an infectious melody that’s simultaneously great fun and inflected with melancholy.” [“No Going Back”] - Indie Shuffle
“Bouncy and bright…” [“No Going Back”] - Gorilla Vs. Bear.
“Charming us all with its buoyant pop flair and instrumentals that sound as if they were seemingly dipped in sunshine, “No Going Back” signals Yuno’s return in a way that’s almost impossible to shake. “No Going Back” is as promising as it is optimistic.” [“No Going Back”] - The Grey Estates
“Drifting digital pop casting a bittersweet spell.” [“No Going Back”] -CLASH
