This release is a two track single which consists of two songs: HoneyLemon and Arcade. HoneyLemon serves as the main core song of the single whilst Arcade serves as the secondary song.

“The origin of HoneyLemon was born when I suffered a severe cold and had to take Lemsips regularly every once in a while.  Fortunately, the idea hit me instantly. An idea of creating a message with a metaphorical, lyrical and ambiguous meaning of the two sweetest things. Of course, it’s supposed to be a love song. Mainly, the whole song is supposed to sound very sweet to listen to. “ 

“Before I wrote my other song, Arcade, I looked back at my youth growing up and going to one of the places that any other kid loves to go to to forget their troubles. The word “trouble” then inspired me to write a song about escapism with nostalgic lyricism accompanied by a dreamy instrumental. For this particular song, I wanted to stay true to the independent side of indie pop and dream pop.” 

“As a musician in my early roots sharing my music to others, I’m quite unsure where my future would lead me into. But I do really hope to make more music and share my own passion and artistry whilst telling the story of my own personal journey.”
