“sorry in advance” is a song off Yorke’s upcoming EP unfinished business, the lyrics relating to rejecting a potential romantic interest that you don’t want to be a romantic interest. Yorke explains that if she doesn’t feel a connection with someone, she won’t force herself to like them back, and that they shouldn’t try to start a relationship that they know won’t go anywhere. Trying to be into someone that you aren’t interested in is a disaster waiting to happen, because no one should have to waste their time doing something they don’t want to do. It’s better to move on from someone that doesn’t want you then to try to convince them to be in a relationship with you.
Sonically, “sorry in advance” is very fun and upbeat, it’s production making up an exceptional pop anthem. It features unique elements, liked reverberated claps and a prominent bass line, which are often unused in pop songs, but fit perfectly in this track. Yorke is also an immensely talented vocalist and is able to switch octaves easily throughout “sorry in advance”. The way she sings the “la la la”’s adds to the pop excellence of the song as well. The descending guitar chords section in the chorus is another fun and unique addition to this amazing song. Another definitive part is the celestial-sounding synths that are layered with the rest of the instrumentation.
Yorke is a multi-talented music artist based in Australia and is originally from Byron Bay. She began her music career with the release of her debut single “First Light”, a track off her 2020 debut EP Liberosis. In 2022, she released her sophomore EP ten feet tall, and will release unfinished business in June 2025. She has performed her music live before, including opening for several artists, such as Lewis Capaldi and The Veronicas, as well as many more. Another song from Liberosis and one of her first singles, “Wake the City”, can be listened to while watching an episode of the very popular drama TV series 9-1-1. Yorke is an amazing and very talented musician!
