Mar 24, 2023An album that leaves you in a different environment than where you entered it, ‘YIAN’ will surely rank as one of 2023’s most impressive British debuts.
-
Mar 24, 2023A remarkable debut album, Yian's reflections on growth cement Chua's identity as an artist capable of deeply personal, honest, and beautiful music.
-
Mar 24, 2023The ten songs that emerged from that process are a compassionate exploration of selfhood that rewards patience and resists easy answers.
