Yaz’s “Who Said That” turns self-made confidence into a full-volume statement

Yaz's "Who Said That" comes with the kind of assurance that doesn't need permission. The music, from the outset, seems like a massive step up for an artist who understands exactly what she wants to express and, more significantly, recognizes her worth.

"Who Said That" is all about unabashed intensity from start to finish. It comes close without blinking. Rather, the track celebrates the idea of self-made prosperity and transmutes that thinking into its fundamental melodic force.

What's so attractive about the music is the interaction of the many components. The bars are there for the attitude, and the ad-libs hit like exclamation points, bringing extra personality and emphasis throughout the music. The production gives Yaz plenty of room to take the lead on the record without losing its edge.

"Who Said That" is the music to saying no to smallness. It's that directness that makes it appealing. The tune keeps its message simple, putting confidence at the forefront, letting the performance do the heavy lifting.
