With her album Yian, released in early 2023, Londoner Lucinda Chua takes you into a deeply introspective world – the culmination of many years of creative work. An accomplished cellist, she gives a special place in her music to strings, which reinforce muted keyboard notes to create a stirring atmosphere. You’ll soon lose yourself in Chua’s music and drift off into dreamy contemplation, carried away by her deep, yet vulnerable voice. In the distance, sounds and notes intersect, evocative echoes of other possibilities that expand the space. There’s something in the gentleness of her songs that evokes other spellbinding Londoners, e.g. Zero Seven, and the calm you feel when the sun rises, and everything feels possible again.
