Sometimes, Late At Night, the stunning debut from drumming virtuoso Jharis Yokley, transports listeners to a captivating nocturnal realm. Yokley, a seasoned collaborator with luminaries like Solange and DJ Premier, unveils a genre-defying masterpiece born from the ashes of a broken relationship.

Drawing from his jazz-informed chops and hip-hop sensibilities, Yokley crafts a futuristic soundscape adorned with deep synths from BIG YUKI and his own frenetic drumming prowess. Yet, beneath this avant-garde veneer lies a classic breakup record, raw and vulnerable.

The album’s sparse lyrics, often repeated like mantras, resonate with the fear and uncertainty that linger after a relationship’s demise. Tracks like “Friends,” “Move On,” and “Miss You” capture those quiet, private moments of self-soothing, their words conveying rich emotional worlds.

Standouts include the bold opener “Back and Forth” featuring José James, and the introspective “Only See Her,” where Yokley’s drumming prowess takes centre stage, propelling the listener through a tempestuous emotional journey.

Sometimes, Late At Night is a triumph – a genre-bending, cathartic exploration of heartbreak and healing. Yokley’s debut is a must-listen for any music lover seeking a transcendent, boundary-pushing experience.
