Yalene is a Toronto-based indie-pop and alt-R&B singer-songwriter known for emotionally charged storytelling, raw vocals, and nostalgic, cinematic production. Her music blends confessional lyricism with modern pop sensibilities, drawing comparisons to Kali Uchis and Olivia Rodrigo. Since the release of her self-produced debut EP "En Route" in 2023, Yalene has performed extensively across Toronto and on festival stages, building a reputation for intimate, emotionally resonant live shows. Her 2025 EP 'Unburdened' marked a breakthrough moment, earning radio support and growing streaming traction. The project was led by breakout single “Long Distance Romance” and supported by a 20-date Toronto tour, including two sold-out headline performances.

Her latest single, “OOF!” released on February 20, 2026, marks a bold new sonic direction ahead of her upcoming third EP.
