Building on the warm, elemental soundscape of 2021s Antidotes EPs and the moody, elegant timbre of her cello, Chua self-produced and engineered 8 of YIANs 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 ones own selfhood honed over Chuas lifelong reconciliation with her own personal history and identity.
