The warm floral scents and balmy breezes of the UK’s recent heatwave perfectly complement the music of Yingtuitive—the alias of Singapore-born, London-based artist Hannah Chia. Yet her fluid, almost synesthetic soundscapes would feel just as at home in the rain or snow.
Chia’s debut album, Letters To Self (寫æ æ¸), arrived late last month. Evoking the pastoral electronics of early Four Tet while weaving in ambient and club influences, it avoids predictable emotional patterns. Piano takes center stage on Pandan, a melancholic ambient jazz piece reminiscent of Matthew Bourne or Ryuichi Sakamoto. Blue immerses listeners in deep, watery reverb, while Do U Forget a Feeling? layers crisp beats over lush echoes, as if tapped out on an MPC sampler.
Three standout rhythmic tracks anchor the album—don’t miss Exhibition, best played on a powerful sound system to fully appreciate its rumbling bass and grime-inspired melodies (think Skepta’s signature video-game synths). The album’s cosmopolitan flow transports you through gardens, malls, and clubs with dreamlike ease. Chia describes it as an exploration of a “split soul,” shaped by years of living between two places. Her music captures the bittersweet beauty of a restless life—full of fleeting wonders, but never fully rooted.
