Acclaimed pianist and composer Yana Couto and vocalist-producer OS.SO have been named Spotify EQUAL Global Ambassadors, spotlighting their music and artistry on the iconic Times Square billboard in New York City. The announcement coincides with the highly anticipated release of their joint concept album Isolde, set to premiere on November 14, 2025.
Isolde is a collaboration between two distinctive artistic voices — Yana Couto’s minimalist, neoclassical sensibility and OS.SO’s intimate, expressive vocal style. The album blends Polish folk, cinematic aesthetics, and subtle electronics, anchored by the intimate sound of piano, delicate vocalizations, and restrained electronic textures. It is a musical journey of silence, closeness, and emotional depth, speaking directly through feeling rather than words.
The album has already captured international attention. Tracks from Isolde were featured on the legendary KEXP Seattle radio show, as well as on Spotify playlists including Global New Ambient. In Poland, the project is supported by SPACe Association, with airplay on Radio Nowy Świat, Polish Radio, and curated playlists such as Zacisze and New Music Friday Polska.
“Isolde is a meeting of two artistic universes, where music and emotion guide the listener through an intimate yet universal experience,” says Yana Couto. “We are honored to be recognized by Spotify EQUAL and to share this music with the world.”
The concept album is complemented by a series of original short films featuring the character of Isolde, merging music and visual storytelling into an immersive, genre-defying experience.
Both artists bring impressive credentials: sold-out international tours, collaborations with renowned global musicians, compositions for theatre and film (including My Father and Qaddafi, premiered this year at the Venice Film Festival), and over 25 million streams worldwide.
Following the November 14 release, Yana Couto and OS.SO will embark on a 2026 concert tour, performing in intimate venues and major festivals in Poland and abroad.
Isolde stands as one of Poland’s most promising releases of 2025, blending emotional depth, aesthetic subtlety, and artistic authenticity — a project poised to resonate globally.
