Seize the Power is a mixtape by English rock group Yonaka released in 2021. The mixtape features Fever 333 and Barns Courtney.
Background
On January 27, 2021, Yonaka released the lead single, "Seize the Power" off their Mixtape of the same name. Yonaka also released a music video for the song on the same day. The video was directed by Jade Ang Jackman and produced by Lauren Mills. In March they released "Ordinary", followed by "Call Me a Saint" in May and 'Raise Your Glass" in June. Yonaka would release the mixtape on July 15th of that year. The mixtape features tracks featuring Fever 333 and Barns Courtney.
Yonaka states that they have been working on Seize the Power, since December 2019, right after their debut album, Don't Wait 'Til Tomorrow.
Themes and composition
Yonaka states "key themes [of the album] are empowerment, strength, aggression, and the sense of trusting where you are is the right place." Front woman, Theresa Jarvis, states about the lead single "You know when you feel fucking good and you're glowing and you feel like the whole world is with you? That's what 'Seize The Power' is." The song "Get Out" was inspired by the film Girl, Interrupted. Jarvis states the song was written on a "cheap Casio keyboard from the 80's that barely works." "Ordinary" is about striving for greatness, while "Greedy" is about striking people who try to take from you.
"Clique" features singer Jason Aalon Butler from the group Fever 333, who describes the song as "just a lot of swearing, basically." "Raise Your Glass" has a pop-punk style reminiscent of Paramore.
