We sat down with KAWAII HOE after the release of their stellar new album 'Reality', to discuss what influences shaped their unique sound. Be sure to check out the single at the bottom and follow them on socials!
EGO-HOLIC - Starr Chen feat. Jolin Tsai
This track embodies the essence of musical euphoria for me. Its tropical vibes and resonating lyrics create an instant mood lift, making it my go-to song for good times. The collaboration between Starr Chen and Jolin Tsai brings together infectious rhythms and powerful vocals, creating a perfect blend of energy and emotion. The way this song can transform my mood speaks to the power of music in shaping our experiences and emotions.
Sirens - Cher Lloyd
Sirens holds a special place in my heart as a musical companion during challenging times. The song's narrative quality creates a vivid experience, almost like a musical playing out in my mind. Cher Lloyd's emotive delivery allows me to connect deeply with the journey through darkness she portrays. This track reminds me of music's ability to provide comfort and understanding, making us feel less alone in our struggles.
Selfless by G.E.M.
G.E.M.'s Selfless serves as a personal anthem of self-love and courage. The empowering lyrics and G.E.M.'s heartfelt performance make this song a source of strength and inspiration. It's a beautiful reminder of the importance of self-compassion and bravery in the face of life's challenges. This track has played a significant role in my journey of self-acceptance and personal growth.
Another One - Sam Smith
Sam Smith's Another One resonates deeply with my experiences as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Their heavenly vocals beautifully capture the complex emotions of love, loss, and self-discovery that many in our community face. Whether reflecting on personal experiences or past relationships, this song provides a soundtrack to those profound, sometimes bittersweet moments of reflection and growth.
Freaks Night Parade - Jace Chan
As my current favorite track of 2024, Freaks Night Parade represents the exciting evolution of music and culture. Its incorporation of Chinese folklore, modern perspectives on 'otherness', and the inclusion of Voguing dance style from LGBTQIA+ culture creates a rich, multifaceted experience. The song's message of self-acceptance and living authentically aligns perfectly with my own values and artistic vision. It inspires me to push boundaries and celebrate diversity in my own music.
