Nonprofit Playlist: Age of Worry

• ​Artist: YEBBA
• Track: Age of Worry

​Nonprofit work can be both heartbreaking and heartwarming. Yebba’s cover of John Mayer’s ‘Age of Worry’ can be both healing and exhilarating. 

Alive in the age of worry
Smile in the age of worry
Go wild in the age of worry
And sing Worry, why should I care?

This beautiful arrangement features a full band with a string quartet which weaves in and out of key changes highlighting Yebbas incredible vocal range and technique. John Mayer was so moved by this performance that he later invited Yebba out with him on his 2022 tour. 

​​“So moved. Thank you for showing what’s been hiding in my own work through your profoundly powerful and soulful take. You are so special I can’t stand/understand it sometimes.”

If you haven’t heard of Yebba before, now’s your chance! And if you liked this cover performance, her original songs are even better.

Dream your dreams but don't pretend
Be friends with what you are
Give your heart then change your mind
You're allowed to do it
