Yellow Couch Music - Am I More Than Enough?!!!??! feat. Estephanie (Official Music Video)

Yellow Couch Music, the New York-based jazz collective led by drummer and producer Layton Weedeman, returns with “Am I More Than Enough?!!!??!” featuring longtime collaborator Estephanie. A slow-blooming ballad that fuses woozy jazz textures, smoldering soul, and hazy hip-hop into a sound both intimate and expansive. Drawing from early experiments in blending live instrumentation with formative influences, Weedeman builds a sonic space of contrasts—strength and softness, doubt and devotion—elevated by Estephanie’s lyrical clarity and breezy tone, which hovers between lullaby and lament. Inspired by the shadowy elegance of Portishead and the neo-soul sophistication of The Internet, the track explores love, overcompensation, and self-doubt, capturing Yellow Couch Music at their most reflective and refined.
