YEULE DANCES AWAY THE APOCALYPSE ON “LOVEPILL”

Avant-pop auteur yeule reveals the next piece of their upcoming post-apocalyptic project a+e with the propulsive new single “Lovepill”. Out now via Warner Records, the downcast dance anthem adds to the unfolding story, mixing the futuristic with the familiar, divinity with depravity, and love with war.

The EP will also get a limited physical CD release (see packshot below) available through yeule’s official store and the Warner Records store — pre-order is now open HERE. Additionally, the first official a+e merch drop has arrived HERE, featuring The Hysteria Tee.

A cyborgian romance set in a war-ravaged future, a+e revolves around two characters: Axel, a bomb-disposal soldier working in a hostile wasteland; and Eri, a militant robotic companion built from the likenesses of his loved ones, including his late wife. They cross the barren desert on dirt bikes while themes of mortality, toxic love, artificiality, and spirituality swirl around them.

“Lovepill” arrives late in the tracklist and seems to find Eri in a state of distress, reaching for rosaries and Valium as they struggle with their own circuit-addled consciousness and attempt to connect with Axel. Over chaos-skirting crystalline synth sequences, hard drums, and rubbery bass, yeule’s uncannily soothing voice spills out a series of thoughts that manically ping-pong between modes and emotions: “Lights out, fall out, point my flaws out / Want you to love me, no it’s not funny / Lovepill, Valium, let me in, want to sin / What’s your location? Crystal detonation.”

yeule writes and co-produces “Lovepill” alongside Deaton Chris Anthony (Clairo, Charli xcx), Devin Workman (Dominic Fike, JENNIE), and Frank Dukes (Travis Scott, The Weeknd).

This latest transmission from yeule’s immersive new world follows last month’s eerily euphoric “Hystérique”, which hit like an invitation to escape the desolation of a+e via pure pleasure. Produced by yeule with Chris Greatti (Willow Smith, Poppy) and Workman, the track sets driving dance rhythms against gossamer narcotic ambience as Eri lets loose a wild verbal swirl of designer namechecks, heavy memories, and carnal come-ons.

The story of a+e — which is being developed into a screenplay — came to yeule as they watched eras of their life dissolve while touring their acclaimed 2025 album Evangelic Girl is a Gun, and in the gloomy fog that followed. Writing through a dissociated state, they pieced together a tale inspired by William Gibson, Philip K. Dick, Blade Runner, and Ghost in the Shell.

Born in Singapore and based in London, the nonbinary singer, songwriter, producer, and painter also known as Nat Ćmiel has fascinated fans and tastemakers around the globe, reeling in tens of millions of streams and praise from outlets like The Washington Post, Billboard Japan, and Pitchfork, who called yeule “one of the defining artists of the decade.” Evangelic Girl is a Gun hit Best Albums of 2025 lists from The FADER, Stereogum, The Ringer, and more, and sparked stunning performances on Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney and at NPR’s Tiny Desk.

After picking up piano at age 6 — learning the Final Fantasy X canon alongside classical works — yeule has gone on to incorporate all manner of media and culture into their artistry. They transfixed listeners across early EPs before delivering staggering sonic statements on albums like 2022’s Glitch Princess and 2023’s softscars, both of which received Pitchfork’s “Best New Music” badge. In 2024, yeule’s cover of “Anthems For A Seventeen-Year-Old Girl” by Broken Social Scene appeared in A24’s I Saw The TV Glow, leading to 73M streams on Spotify alone.

In addition to working with fellow cutting-edge producers like Mura Masa, A. G. Cook, Danny L Harle, and Clams Casino, yeule has supported Charli xcx on the road and packed houses on their own international headline tours. Stay riveted as they delve deeper into the world of a+e.
