Yola

Country musician Yola chats to Abby Hollick about her experience with colourism, sleeping rough and her love for Dolly Parton.

Yola invites Abby Hollick for a duvet day as she talks about growing up with nothing in Portishead and how her mum disproved of her singing.

The country soul star explains how Dolly Parton inspired her to be unapologetically herself and why she ended up sleeping on the streets when she was trying to make it in London.

Plus, she opens up about how stress caused her to lose her voice for a year and a half and how she was made to feel that she should be a backing singer instead of up front.
