**A YOUNG** (parden the pun) poppy electronic artist with a flare for the vaguely optimistic – that’s the specs behind the multi-instrumentalist known as **Youngr**. The son of **Kid Creole**, and once half of brother duo **Picture book**, took his place as an independent musician way back in 2016, and has since released a string of broadly streamed tracks in 2018.

His latest track, [*Lost in translation*](https://www.scenemag.co.uk/music-review-translation-please/), seems to show off all of the 29 Year old’s credentials, complete with a slightly ominous but summery sound. But what about his earlier catalogue of tracks?

A barrage of sparkling synths fuels the majority of the song that’s known simply as *Drive*. Modest and unpretentious drums beat their encouraging and club ready beats, paving the road for Youngr’s gentle vocal calls and encouraging lyrics to ride along. His light words depict a seemingly breezy story of courtship, via a summer’s drive, that eventually propels the track into a feeling of cheer with the repetition of the line “*You and me should take a drive some time.*”

*Drive* is only a few months younger than *Lost in translation*, and yet sounds more charming and hopeful. Youngr recruits skeletal instrumentation, choosing to subtly tiptoe into a state of glee with the understated glow of synth and gentle layers of euphoric vocals, instead of overdosing on complicated tectonic beats and ecstatic shuffling rhythms.
