Austrian-born, Berlin-based multi-instrumentalist UCHE YARA announces her debut album BODYSCANNER, out 25 September via goldendays FM. Alongside the announcement, she shares the album’s title track and lead single.
With her debut album BODYSCANNER, UCHE follows instinct. Written and produced by UCHE herself, the album sees her take full control. As she explains: “I’ve written the album with my body, and now my mind knows it.”
Lead single and title track ‘BODYSCANNER’ is a seductive, pulsating introduction to the new world of UCHE YARA .
“What I love most about the track is its ambiguity – are you at an airport or in a club? The song guides you through spaces and pulls you into an entirely new world. It was also the first time I stepped into this kind of character and chose not to sing in the main vocal. There’s a constant tension between surrender and control, between being controlled and taking control yourself. The track thrives on that duality: dominant and threatening, yet warm and deeply groovy at the same time. It’s something you can ride, and willingly give yourself over to.”

‘BODYSCANNER’ is accompanied by a video directed by UCHE, her first time stepping into the director’s chair.
