Yola Carter has just released a demo from her forthcoming album to stream on Soundcloud - 'It Ain't Easier'. In her own words: "Here's a demo of the song 'It Ain't Easier' from my new album. As I get closer to the end of writing it the more I'm falling in love with it. Falling in love doesn't make it easier though - just means you've gotta try harder to do right by it."

Yola is on tour throughout June, July & August, starting this Thursday at the Borderline in London.
