In the comments, many people were asking him to release his songs, so on 27 January 2023 Yamê released "Call of Valhalla". In February the same year he was invited by Stromae to open for his concerts. He also performed at the Colors Show his song "Bécane" which went viral on social networks. On 5 October 2023 Yamê announced the release of his debut EP Elowi.
