All sounds made with my mouth or Garageband. Have been tinkering around and this song was stuck in my head so I got this out. :) May or may not have overdid it with the production haaaaa, but the original was smashing so I wanted to recreate something similar. 

I think I went off beat around the last few seconds but Garageband kept crashing so I'm going to leave it like that! :[ 

PS: Headphones might sound better! :)

Let me know what you think!!!

Royals (Lorde Acapella Cover by foldedmemos)

One-take-session. Sorry if I sound like I just got out of bed (low), because that's what it is. HAHAHA. 

Anyway, I am digging this song now~

xh


O.M.G (Usher Cover)

This song is beautifully heartbreaking, if you interpret it the way I did. It takes a bit of a listen before you get into this song, but I suppose that's one of its charms. Such a joy to sing as well.

Not the best comeback, but this band is my current obsession right now. Wish I could just fly straight to Hongdae to hear them live!

[WIP] 위잉위잉 Wi ng Wi ng  (혁오 hyukoh cover by foldedmemos)

It's been too long! Messed around with this new song by JB. I thought quite a few of his songs on his latest album are worth a listen, and this is one of them. #onetakesession so there's going to be a few pitchy moments in this one. Feeling rusty... eek!

Haven't posted a cover in a while; getting rusty. This isn't your typical love song, but it's quite romantic in a way yes? It's only a minute long but I still hope you'll like it! :) Have a great V Day everyone!

Sounds slightly better than your momma screaming bloody murder.

I kid. Wasn't exactly my first choice to upload but I was feeling it tonight.

One take session. Not the best take I've had but had to get it out my system.
Better on earphones, turn up!

Wanted to do a mashup but I didn't have enough time, so here's a snippet of As Long As You Love Me by Justin Bieber. I know it's only a small bit, but if you guys like it let me know! I might end up doing a longer version! :) x



As Long As You Love Me Acapella Cover Justin Bieber

Portion of it, testing the new uke out woooo~ excuse the few mistakes in between - I'm still in the midst of practicing the chords - I LOVE IT!!!

Waiting On The World To Change [John Mayer Ukulele Acoustic Cover]

a foldedmemos cover / bad / james bay

I better upload it before I change my mind. >_< I BLAME @KAYAROCKS FOR EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME SINCE JULY 2012.

소녀시대 's Gee. This song was stuck in my head for a while, so I had to get it out. I don't usually listen to girl bands, but this song is too catchy for its own good - and I think Yoona is pretty :x 

I hope the acapella works here. I thought IU's acoustic take on it was brilliant, so I got my inspiration to cover it from there. I also apologise for my horrible horrible Korean pronunciation, if any. If I sound like I'm stretching my voice / out of breath, I MOST DEFINITELY AM. That's what having a low vocal range sounds like HAHAHA.

TGIF!!!

Gee (Acapella SNSD /Girls' Generation 소녀시대 Cover by foldedmemos)

Work in progress. Might have to turn up the vol on this one.

Where We Are Now {Work in Progress / Rough Vocals}

Wanted to sing this in the original key but I had trouble with the chords so this isn't perfect... but I LOVE THIS SONG, and 10cm is such a great indie-pop group! The still video is up here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TFlgL6fy5Y I promise an English song next, just had to get this out of the system first!


Lyrics: 
You can meet love in front of the ‘Milky Way’ cafe
While drinking black tea and iced coffee
While listening to the same song every day

You are like a dry matchstick
No matter how hard you try to dislike me
You can’t hide your burning heart

Please say at least something to me
I will make a rainbow in my tea cup

One day, two days, three days- I cannot stand it
I can’t live, I can’t die, in these places:
Hongdae, Sang Su Dong, Shin Chon,
Idae, Itaewon, — can’t walk around in these places

Please say at least something to me
I will make a rainbow in my tea cup

One day, two days, three days- I cannot stand it
I can’t live, I can’t die, in these places:
Hongdae, Sang Su Dong, Shin Chon,
Leedae, Leetaewon, — can’t walk around in these places

You can meet love in front of the ‘Milky Way’ cafe
While drinking black tea and iced coffee
While listening to the same song every day

You can meet love in front of the ‘Milky Way’ cafe
While drinking black tea and iced coffee
While listening to the same song every day

You are you are you are
you are you are you are
So great so great so great

10cm Love In The Milky Way Café 사랑은 은하수 다방에서 (Ukulele Cover)

Hello!

My name is Xin Hua, but I usually go by 
foldedmemos when posting music from the sunny island of Singapore. 

I listen to a little bit of everything. I'm mostly attracted to sounds that are acoustic, a little upbeat, folk-pop would be a good indication. Other than that, my favourite band of all time is UK pop/rock band McFly. Mention them and you won't be able to stop me from talking for a while. You have been warned.

If you like what you hear, and want to maybe do a collaboration, shoot me a message. Also, if you want any of the songs to download but the download limit's reached, feel free to send me a heads up! Drop me a message before adding me on FB so I know where you guys are coming from haha!
