W. Y. Huang – Born To Lose

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.

US-based singer and songwriter W. Y. Huang is back today with a stunning indie-folk release called ‘Living With Ghosts’.

The song showcases Huang’s sincere and emotive vocals, while the production treats us to a stripped-back style of sound that feels delicate while still exuding a sense of warmth.

“when did I stop feeling when did I forget / when did my companions become voices in my head / maybe I can face what I’ve been running from / maybe there’s still time to find my way back to the sun“

The track’s lyrics focus on themes of pain and hope, and are sure to resonate with a lot of listeners. Fans can look forward to an upcoming EP from the artist called ‘Knots’, which is out next month.
