Chen Yu Xuan (陳昱璇)
Recognised for her unique husky vocal tone, Chen Yu Xuan - or more widely known as “Little Flower” - officially debuts as a singer-songwriter. Unlike most artistes that start their music career at a young age, Yu Xuan is a fresh face in the industry where her voice was first introduced to the audience this year, through the UFM100.3 Radio Singer Competition.

During the competition, Yu Xuan’s vocal performance received unanimous critical acclaim from both the judges and public, leading to her eventual victory. However, she chose not to reveal her face, much to the public’s disappointment.

Shortly after the competition, Yu Xuan was signed to Haha Music & Entertainment, owned by her mentor - local singer-songwriter Lin Si Tong. Yu Xuan’s adventurous nature had previously led her to pursue different musical interests over the past few years, such as songwriting, electronic music production and DJ-ing. In October this year, Yu Xuan has devoted most of her time to the preparation of her debut single - “Matchsticks”.

《寫給天上的你 LETTERS TO HEAVEN》单曲 SINGLE:

In the aftermath of the Radio Singer Competition 2020, UFM100.3 approached Yu Xuan to compose and sing the theme song of their campaign titled “Letters to Heaven”.

This song is a cross-collaboration with local lyricist Chen Yu Xin(陳宇昕), who wrote the lyrics of <Tropical Rain 熱帶雨> by local group NEKO Highway 貓速公路, which was a novel experience for Yu Xuan who usually takes ownership over the entire creative process. Met with lyrics penned by another lyricist, Yu Xuan spent more time than usual analysing the phrases and vocal delivery, alongside local music producer Lin Si Tong. ​

The recording process was gruelling, where Si Tong and Yu Xuan spent two hours just recording the first four lines of the song, in order to achieve certain technical and emotive standards. The bar was definitely raised this time by Si Tong, who made Yu Xuan repeat lines over and over again in the studio. There was a much greater vocal emphasis in <Letters to Heaven> compared to <Matchsticks>, given that arrangement only consists of piano and strings instruments.

“Letters to Heaven” is now available on all major digital streaming platforms:
