Burnout

Burnout is a product of roughly a year of the now 22-year-old BoyWithUke evolving his sound, his live show, and his own work-life balance. Charley Yang has been going through many changes in his life while being BoyWithUke, from getting out of his first long term relationship of 4 years, to getting out of a major label deal. “For the longest time I had made songs to impress this person I was in love with as well as music executives, and once that was gone things felt weird. I felt a little bit lost, but in a larger and more positive way, I felt free with freedom to make mistakes and basically whatever I wanted–I think that’s what Burnout is,” Yang explains.With this freedom now to lean into the music he wants to put out into the world comes with the pressure of the unknown which fed into his unhealthy strive for perfection. But the fact that he's actually trying is giving him a peace that he hasn't felt before—a peace he hopes for all of his fans. With that comes Burnout. Now available WW on CD and vinyl.
