13: "It Ain't Easier" by Yola

This episode's artist is Yola, potentially a new name to many. Yola would probably not be considered a typical country singer by most: she's black, she's British, and seems to effortlessly glide between R&B, soul, Americana, and blues. Though she considers herself "genre-fluid" (a term she coined), when she makes a country song, she knocks it out of the park. And this country soul excellence is what you're gonna hear on "It Ain't Easier," the song of the week, from her critically acclaimed debut album.Don't have time to listen to her whole catalog?
