Bingkai Karya – Enter Valentine’s Day on a romantic note as Singaporean singer-songwriter rhyu releases her latest single, ‘For It’s You and Me’, an ode to romance and couples everywhere.
‘For It’s You and Me’ introduces a refreshing sound to rhyu’s discography, offering a preview of her upcoming debut EP, set for release in March. With vibrant instrumentals and rhyu’s signature soulful vocals, this single captures the small, everyday moments that truly shape romance. The “hidden secret” to love isn’t complicated—it’s right in front of us.
“I hope people feel the warmth I felt while writing the song and are able to relate to it in their own ways. This song came from a place of comfort and gratitude I felt towards someone. It’s such an amazing feeling, and I hope to translate that through ‘For It’s You and Me’,” said rhyu about her new single.
Working on ‘For It’s You and Me’, rhyu was a lot more involved in the production process compared to her previous singles, enjoying more ownership over her music. This is also the first single from her debut EP, which will be titled ‘It’s Pouring’. The new EP is set to be released in March and will feature five new songs, including ‘For It‘s You and Me’.
rhyu (shortened from Raine Hahn Yu) has been writing music about the bits and bobs in her life ever since she was four. Her songs are pieces of memories and emotions brought to life, and she hopes they’ll bring listeners the same comfort they bring to her.
rhyu is one of the most exciting acts to emerge from Singapore in recent years, with her deep, raspy vocals drawing comparisons to Icelandic singer-songwriter Laufey. She has even caught the attention of Laufey herself on TikTok, where she uploads her song covers and originals. Only at the age of 19, rhyu started releasing music two years ago, and her most popular single, ‘It’s Fine’, has already surpassed 2.2 million streams on Spotify, where she has over 83,000 monthly listeners.In 2023, rhyu performed at the iconic Esplanade Theatres by the Bay in Singapore and opened for Taiwanese instrumental band Cicada during their Singapore performance. She is also a part of the collective New Mongrels, alongside other up-and-coming Singaporean artists.
