From Raw Emotion to Studio Magic
At its core, “Lift You Up” began as a stripped-down performance: just guitar and vocals, capturing the raw essence of Yve’s voice and storytelling. But under Larry Mitchell’s guidance, the song transformed.
Layer by layer, Mitchell added depth and richness—bass guitar, drums, and electric guitar—creating a soundscape that blends Folk, Pop, and Indie influences. The result is a track that feels both intimate and expansive, balancing emotional honesty with musical sophistication.
Some songs are born overnight, while others take years to reach their full potential. For Yve Mary B, “Lift You Up” belongs to the latter. Written seven years ago, the song has lived and breathed alongside her journey as a songwriter and performer. Now, in 2025, it finally emerges as a fully realized piece—an anthem of resilience that speaks to the universal pressures and responsibilities of simply being human.
Yve shares that “all people” can resonate with the weight of expectation and the struggle to remain grounded, and “Lift You Up” is her offering of comfort, encouragement, and light.
The Connection – Meeting Larry Mitchell
The turning point for “Lift You Up” came through Yve’s circle of creativity. Through her songwriter husband Tony Brook and artist friend Katie Martin, she was introduced to Larry Mitchell—a Grammy Award-winning producer and a phenomenal guitarist whose reputation precedes him.
Larry invited Yve to perform at his Live at The Chocolate Room sessions, a creative haven for intimate performances. That invitation sparked a collaboration that would breathe new life into the song.
