A collaboration between Finnish producer Tatu Metsätähti and Azerbaijani
musician and vocalist Zuzu Zakaria

On May 12th 2023, Helsinki-based duo Ya Tosiba will release their second album, ASAP Inşallah,
on
Finnish label Huge Bass. Ya Tosiba absorbs electronics, live instrumentation and folkloric
poetry of Caucasus into a spirited, groovy sound. The album will be led by two singles, ‘Mənəm’
and
‘Pul’, due for release on March 2nd and April 13th respectively. The follow up to their 2017 debut
album
Love Party, Ya Tosiba’s ASAP Inşallah plays with tension of living in a world of contradictions. “It’s
about wishing for something while knowing that it’s out of your control,” explains Zuzu, of the album
title. “So, ‘As soon as possible, but only if God is willing’. It’s hoping for a better tomorrow despite
today
feeling dystopian: like doing yoga in a war zone,” she jokes dryly.
