yunè pinku’s story starts with her name. yunè comes from a nickname she had as a kid. It means ‘cloudy’ in Japanese. pinku nods to her love of claymation penguin show Pingu. NOOT NOOT! (Don’t we all remember that iconic phrase?). With her name only, she taps into many facets of growing up in the early 2020s. That background lets her create syrupy vocals over a production that draws from the UK rave scene as traces of her childhood in London can be heard in the shuffl-y garage rhythms of her production.
