¥eah ¥eah ¥eah No is the third official EP by multi-instrumentalist and Dutch singer Jett Rebel. The EP was released on January 18, 2019 without any announcement. The first and only single of this EP was launched on June 7, 2019, Waiting For The Weekend. This coincided with Rebel's first encounter in England. On June 11, 2019, Rebel put on his first show in Notting Hill Arts Club in London.[1]

Single[]

In an interview with the , Rebel explains what Waiting For The Weekend is about, The song is about the drag of everyday life, the boring life. I feel so many of us are waiting for the “weekend”. Personally I don’t really have this separation between weekdays and weekend anymore, because I work all the time. If I happen to have a real day off, it’s usually rather a Monday or Tuesday. “The Weekend” so the weekend is whenever we are free to be who we wanna be, and to do what we wanna do. [2]

Recording[]

¥eah ¥eah ¥eah No was recorded live at the Wisseloord Studios. For the second time Rebel went into the studio with the power trio Jett Rebel 3, this time with drummer Willem van der Krabben and bassist Xander Vrienten. This is also the 2nd time Rebel chooses not to do everything on his own, just like in 2016 when recording the album Don't Die On Me Now. "Everything you hear on the record sounds exactly as it should be, Rebel says to music news from the UK".[3] For this EP there are 3 extra tracks played live but in the end they didn't make it to the EP. Tracks: Lady On The Hill, Bleed Me An Ocean and Slowdancer. These tracks are regularly played live during performances at festivals or a tour. Something he does more often during his live shows, performing unreleased work.
