Indie Pop singer-songwriter, Yueku is thrilled to announce his debut EP, Catch Me If You Can, to be released on July 30th. As a preview he has released his new single “Mindreader” that is out now along with the already released title track “Somewhere Else.”

Yueku says, “’Mindreader’ is a song about simply wishing a partner would be straightforward about their feelings & what they want from you. I wanted to write a song that clearly expresses the helplessness of being in a one sided relationship, even when things feel great sometimes. Smoke & mirrors. It’s about being pushed to the point where you have to state the very obvious fact, “I’m not a mindreader.”

Yueku is the new solo project of Detroit Pop Writer / Vocalist Christian Koo, formerly of The True Blue. As the band drifted apart in 2020 Chris saw himself coming out to New York for several writing sessions which led to his first feature with Midnight Kids.

On his first solo-outing, Yueku’s Christian Koo draws influence from the fateful affairs of 90’s rom-coms, Frank Ocean’s earnest confessionals, and the guileless charm of a Mike Birbiglia standup set.

The EP features co-writes with Jake LeMond who is a member of Michigander, and co-produced and mixed by Nick Matzkows. Nick has great credits with heavier bands such as Attack Attack! Wind Walkers and ENMY so is branching into Pop with Yueku.

Pulling out of the Motor City suburbs, Yueku’s dynamic bedroom pop feels at once airy and intimate. Cruising with the windows down, a car full of friends, or maybe just a special someone by your side, these are the moments enshrined in our memories. Yueku’s unabashedly nostalgic, yet modern, crisp production captures those bittersweet moments we can only appreciate in the rearview.
