YIAN, By: Chua, Lucinda - Model Number: 4AD0538CD

Description 

œYIAN (?), means swallow in Chinese, and is part of œSiew Yian, the name given to Chua by her parents to preserve her connection with her Chinese heritage. Just as the migratory songbird lives between places, so did Chua, the artist living in the in-between of the English, Malaysian and Chinese cultures that make up her heritage. In the absence of Mandarin as a mother tongue, music became a way to express the parts of herself that couldn™t be described in words; œYIAN emerged as a way to heal.

A deeply introspective and fully realized vessel of creative expression (Chua self-produced and engineered eight of the ten tracks), œYIAN 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
