THE SONG CAUGHT my ears almost immediately – in fact, the song is still playing in my head now at the time of writing. Perhaps it’s the ear-grabbing beats or the immensely relatable lyrics that hit me right in the feels since I’m in my late 20s as well, but hugely also because the singer is a homegrown singer-songwriter who has multiple amazing numbers under her belt.
SHN, or [shén - rhymes with ten] – as seen written under her bio on her social media – is indeed a great storyteller who aces in rhymes, beats and of course, hearts with her endearing lyrics and her own genre of pop music.
Congratulations on your latest release As Long as You’re There. I especially like how you rhyme the lines with the names of cities, what’s the idea behind this?
Thank you! When I wrote As Long as You’re There, it was to celebrate relationships. It’s about finding a home and a ‘holiday’ in another person, or even yourself - I think it’s a beautiful and rare thing to find an escape, as well as a sense of belonging and security with another person. And I think a bond like that should be celebrated and cherished.
I know you are also collecting snippets of stories – Visualiser for the As Long as You’re There, can you briefly explain this and tell us what’s the idea behind this initiative?
Since the song is about celebrating relationships, I imagined how beautiful it would be if it became a soundtrack to special moments in people’s lives when I wrote the song. So, I invited my friends and fans to submit their special moments with their special someone and turn into a visualiser for the song. It’s also a beautiful way for me to connect with my listeners. I’m so grateful they want to be a part of it!
