Since the beginning, we’ve been reviewing music on Hear65 every week, and now we'd like to break away from this tradition and pass the baton over to you - the listeners of Singapore’s music. If you've ever been itching to share your thoughts about a new track release, or simply want to introduce good earworms to more listeners, then read on.
For the uninitiated, the Hear65 website has a Review Function to help visitors discover and gain greater insight into the music in Singapore. Good music should always be shared, and we are inviting contributions from friends and fans of our homegrown artists.
Every two weeks, the Hear65 team will select 6-8 reviews every two weeks to publish in a Review Round Up article. Just check out the latest releases and submit your review for a chance to be featured.
Here’s what readers have to say this week:
假面目 - Tingzhi.Hz
Daniel Ong, 100/100: A beautiful song about tearing down your mask and facing the world with the real you. Really enjoyed it! Hope to hear more of your work! #supportlocal
Parallel Vortex - Joanna Lim
Jude Lee, 100/100: Joanna's debut album is filled with strokes of instrumental genius and shades of creative acumen throughout. Helmed by strong instrumental riffs and supported by a cast of talented musicians, Parallel Vortex is a dynamic body of work carrying a bold narrative from start to finish.
Better - Mark Bonafide
TLC, 100/100: The guy has not lost it at all. Trust me, you'd want to pour yourself a glass of whisky and soak this one in.
Will You Stay - Pew 啊飄
Rachel Thng, 100/100: Baring her inner world to her listeners, Pew courageously pens down all our intimate thoughts when abandoned or shunned. Both lyrics and melody take all who hear this song through the longing and plea of asking someone to stay by your side. In fact, I feel that with the rise and fall of the melody in the chorus, it exudes the inner longing that we all feel when someone leaves us but yet are too afraid to verbalise it fearing that we would come across as clingy. What I really like and appreciate about this song is how clean and clear her voice is. To me that is just how intimate and personal this song is meant to be. Woohoo, great job!
Semicircle - Leeray
Miko 100/100: A great song to vibe to and super unique instrumentals, keep it up Leeray.
All I Can Do - Isabelle Wong
Wtolarry 100/100: Diamond in the rough.. super surprised that she's only turning 15 years old in a month's time. Well done Isabelle!
