    (September 16, 2020) Yolanda Parker has released a single that crosses multiple generations, yet preserves a classic and consistent R&B sound. Inspired by a Motown classic, "Everything You Do Blows My Mind" is a midtempo song that will be as comfortable on radio rotations as it will be on socially distanced dance floors.

    Accompanied by a familliar piano kick and memorable bassline, Parker is able to craft a song that engages from start to finish as she sings about a lover who does everything right in her eyes. This song was written by Raymond Barton, who was influenced to write this song after hearing "Until You Come Back To Me," written by Stevie Wonder and Morris Broadnax.  This influence is further made evident by Parker's sopranic refrain of "knocking on your door," a pivotal line from the aforementioned Soul standard. The difference in this song is the sheer joy felt in Parker's vocal performance.
