Singapore-born and New York-based singer-songwriter W. Y. Huang’s ‘Born To Lose’ is one of those understated songs that sonically feels sparse but lyrically carries a lot of weight.
The production flirts between indie, folk, twee and Americana, resulting in a melodic and warm style of sound.
Written as an ode of sorts to those who feel like life is a constant struggle, this song serves as a relatable and humble reminder that we all have the strength to face adversity.
“Written for the underdogs, late bloomers, and anyone who feels like they just can’t catch a break.”
The track is taken from Huang‘s upcoming debut album, titled ‘On Stranger Hills’, which is out on the 2nd September.
