ASCEDANT YOUNG R&B star Umi has released a new single and music video \u2018Right Wrong\u2019, the focus track from her new album \u2018people stories\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The swooning love song is accompanied by a nostalgia-inducing music video reminiscent of the 2000s MTV era.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis song was freestyle written about a conversation between me and my higher self-inspired by my mom,\u201d says Umi about \u2018Right Wrong.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy mum has taught me how to hear my inner voice by teaching me that there is no right or wrong in life \u2013 rather there is what feels good and what doesn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I feel lost on my path I ask my mum for guidance. She guides me without judgement the same way my inner voice does for me when I\u2019m alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThis song is like a conversation between me and her \u2013 as she teaches me how to trust myself. \u2018Right Wrong\u2019 is a reminder to follow the heart and to lean on those you love.\u201d<\/p>\n Inspired by the stories of fans and loved ones, \u2018people stories\u2019 explores the depth of the human experience and the surprising inner connectedness of our life stories.\u00a0<\/p>\n On the album, Umi sings about ego, healing, identity, and connection\u2014all filtered through her signature tranquil songwriting and seamless ability to weave across genres like soul, R&B, folk, and pop.<\/p>\n \u2018people stories\u2019 is Umi\u2019s most personal and expansive to date, showcasing an even wider range of soundscapes and feelings.\u00a0<\/p>\n Along with outros from her therapist during the writing process, the songs weave narratives together and the album\u2019s recorded-as-live performances pay tribute to life\u2019s beautiful messiness.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI wanted to be the storyteller, the vessel to express everyone\u2019s stories,\u201d UMI says of crafting the record.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe all live very similar lives, same colours, slightly different hues. I find that to be very comforting. While writing this album, I found myself in every story I was expressing. I was reminded of how colourful the human experience is.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cFor me, learning to accept even the darkest colours of life was deeply healing and possible through relating to others.\u201d<\/p>\n With \u2018people stories\u2019, UMI reminds us that our experiences\u2014no matter how specific, tender, or difficult\u2014are never just ours alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n Each story she tells, each emotion she unearths, becomes a mirror in which others can see themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n By laying bare her own vulnerability, she creates space, not just for herself, but for anyone who\u2019s ever felt unseen or unheard.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.voice-online.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/unnamed162.jpg\")
