lundi, septembre 04, 2006 Ong Yunyu: Singapore girl making good  Yunyu used to be my classmate in Sec 1 or 2. I sat beside her and she helped me with my chinese. (Actually, anyone who sat beside me had to help me with my chinese.) I remember she used to be horrifically messy, and her handwriting was completely shite - which should have given me an inkling of the incredible store of talent this girl has. Yes, I'm one of those who believes that if you've got crap handwriting, it's a sign that (1) you're incredibly talented artistically, (2) you're destined to be a doctor, (3) you're a computer geek who has forgotten how to use a pen, or (4) you're two years old.Anyhoo, she's made good in Australia: writing music videos, getting pimped by the Master of Goth himself, Neil Gaiman, and working with Big People In Important Places. She's got an album coming up soon, which I hope will hit our shores, either that or I'm just getting Lorraine to get her to mail a couple over. The music's not that bad, but what really won me over are her lyrics and her absolutely cool music videos. Check out "You Are Expendable" for the dark humour (it's a really funny satire on life and desire), and the amazing, amazing stop-motion music video for "Lenore's Song" (based on Poe's "The Raven"). http://www.yunyu.com.au [Ong Yunyu: Singapore girl making good] |
