Lucinda Chua - Yian [CD]

Building on the warm, elemental soundscape of 2021’s ‘Antidotes’ EPs and the moody, elegant timbre of her cello, Chua self-produced and engineered 8 of YIAN’s 10 tracks, spurred on by a call to true artistic integrity and authorship. A deeply introspective and fully realised vessel of creative expression, YIAN emerges as less an album than a worldview, a commitment to learning and uncovering one’s own selfhood honed over Chua’s lifelong reconciliation with her own personal history and identity.
