Miller Yule: Kiwi musician on his upcoming album 'Surrender', four year break

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

After dropping off the face of the Earth for a few years, Miller Yule is back with more music.  He's been on and off in the music scene for about a decade, but stepped back from the spotlight after the release of his 2022 debut album 'Let It Burn'.  Now inspiration has struck again, with Yule set to release his second album, 'Surrender', later this month.   "After the album, I just needed to take a little, little break and invest in other parts of my life," he confessed to Mike Hosking.  Despite how fulfilling and rewarding releasing the album was, it was also a big push, and Yule admits to becoming a bit jaded.  "This is where the story is, is that kind of classic musical story where you lose sight of why you started doing it to begin with," he said.  "I think when you're a musician or independent musician and you wanna do it as a career and monetise it, you become the accountants, the record label, the publisher, the content creator, and very quickly you're doing less and less of the writing and the performing and the creative stuff that you did when you enjoyed it."  "I think taking that space away and then to come back and do it on my terms in a way that I wanna do it, and find the joy again."   LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
