Refusing to get mistaken for the basic girl next door who doesn’t have that extra spice and electric energy you can’t teach, Y.Q.S flip the script and motivate all the ladies to make sure they’re serving the agenda on Work It.

Y.Q.S is a fresh 4-piece UK-based girl band who have a sensually thrilling RnB ambience with a flavoursome afro/Spanish/swing intertwinement that matches their dynamically international British, Ghanaian, Nigerian, Venezuelan and Russian heritage.

With lusciously intriguing vocals and honest lyrics which have been sweetly toned to illuminating heights with a firmness some will struggle to conceptualize, we find a hungry all-ladies band who are in no mood to mess around.

Remember the name. Others have had their time in the limelight right at the top of the game. Y.Q.S is on the rise like a rocket-fueled flame and has earned its spot like ravenous cats ready to pounce on their prey.

Work It from the steaming hot-as-an-iron-at-peak-temperature UK-based indie RnB all-girl band Y.Q.S is a sizzling experience which might cause many blushes and bright eyes to spark up with ideas. This is a take-charge anthem you see? Changing the route via their own GPS and tripping out confused hearts who are tasting their own medicine, to show us that ladies can actually rule like Queens if teamwork is evident.

If you want to feel what the future looks like, you know what to do.
