March 24 street date. London-based artist Lucinda Chua presents her debut solo album, "YIAN". The title means swallow in Chinese, and is part of "Siew Yian," the name given to Chua by her parents to preserve a connection with Chinese heritage. Just as the migratory songbird lives between places, so does Chua; she's lived in the in-between of the English, Malaysian and Chinese cultures that make up her heritage. Yet 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; "YIAN" emerged as a way to heal. After collaborating with FKA Twigs (along with playing in her live band), and releasing 2 acclaimed EP's, Lucinda Chua has reinvented her identity through her artistic craft by respecting the past, yet building upon it in search for a feeling of freedom.
