Yebba « Jean Tour »

Yebba brings her Jean Tour to the Neue Welt on 2 September 2026, Hasenheide 107/113, 10967 Berlin. Born in Arkansas and coming of age in New York, the singer moves between soul, R&B and subtle jazz inflections, shaped by a gospel background and a penchant for dense harmonies. She became known for the live performance of "My Mind" and the single breakthrough "Evergreen"; later collaborations with Sam Smith, PJ Morton, Mark Ronson and Ed Sheeran followed—partnerships that expand her sonic palette without losing focus on voice and song.

On stage, Yebba relies on carefully placed dynamics: intimate ballads meet warm midtempo grooves, and the band leaves space for pauses, breath and slight rhythmic shifts. Her debut album Dawn (2021) supplies much of the set—such as "Distance" or "October Sky"—complemented by pieces that blend her affinity for pop hooks with soul roots. Characteristic are layers of lead and backing vocals, melodic lines that unfold slowly, and arrangements that create closeness rather than overwhelm. An evening that places Yebba's songwriting and the precision of her live harmonies at the centre— in Berlin, at the Neue Welt.
