JAKARTA - Singaporean singer, chanter shared her latest single titled "eko" which was released through the Ninja Tune label. This work combines interesting obsessions and explorations.

Written in London and recorded in Los Angeles, the song was produced by the chant along with its old collaborator, Chris Greatti (Willow, Yves Tumor, The Dare).

"Eko" is written about obsession and love, and the sound that resonates in the mind of the Yeule. This song puts forward a pop approach that plays a bright yellow sound color and clearly leads over the electronic production of this song. Listeners will get goosebumps from the first second through an exploratory intro.

"I'm very easily obsessed with someone because of my tendency to love an idea. This song is a form of my obsession. Seeing other people behave destructively with the desire to damage themselves makes me feel very safe because I no longer feel alone," explained the chant about the song in a written statement, October 28.

This single was released following the success of the album'softscars', which fused guitar distortions and alternative production styles. The album brought the chant to the point where he dissected the anatomy of the old emotional wounds he had, making this album a stabbing and boldest work ever made.

The presence of'softscars' was faced by the critical award from Pitchfork, which for the second time named the work title as 'Best New Music', followed by lively applause from the media like The New York Times, The Fadere, Stereogum, Alternative Press, NPR and many more. This album follows the release of the album 'Glitch Princess' which was also widely praised and became the first yeule work to be labeled part of Pitchfork 'Best New Music'.

Carrying out a dayly work with its multidisciplinary approach, the chants stringing together various worlds and the persona through music, embroidering together everything from the passionate classical strains, distinctive tones of the hyper-modern internet, academic theory, niche topics, and their deepest dreams.
