Some of the prominent names in Singapore's music scene come together and paid tribute to one of their fallen superstars.
A posthumous self-titled debut EP for the late XVAN was released under indie label Umami Records, and it comprises of collaborative musical works by several biggest producers and artists such as Evanturetime, MYRNE, Foxela, Brittle Bear, KNIGHTNDAE and Karena Yeo.
In 2018, XVAN’s debut single “What’s It?” caught the attention of international superstar producers Martin Garrix and Madison Mars who featured the song on their artist playlists. He went on to win a remix competition organized by MTV Asia and a coveted spot on Evanturetime's debut EP with his smooth rendition of the song ‘Sober’.
Unfortunately, just a few months after his massive hit, XVAN passed away from cancer and left behind some unfinished demos. To honor the artistic legacy, his peers in the music industry got together to rework the material and release it officially.
The self-titled album features contributions from musician-friends from the electronic, indie, and pop music scenes as top-billed by DJ/producer MYRNE whom XVAN had cited as one of his biggest inspirations.
“One person I would really like to work on something with would be MYRNE himself, but I believe I still have a very long way to go before that happens,” said XVAN in response to an interview question about potential collaborations two years ago.
The lead single of the EP titled "all in (my head)" was co-produced by Evanturetime and features singer-songwriter Karena Yeo.
“XVAN is a young and amazingly talented producer and I had the joy of witnessing him remix a track of mine,” said Evanturetime. “He has his own sound that is mature and uniquely identifiable to be his and his alone. I am honored to be a part of his posthumous EP and I hope that we've done our best to reflect his love and spirit for music.”
XVAN's debut EP comprises of 4 tracks, namely: (1) Spiral; (2) Sunlight by XVAN, Foxela, Brittle Bear, and Karena Yeo; (3) No Past No future by XVAN and KNIGHTNDAE; and (4) all in (my head) by Evanturetime and Karena Yeo. The record is now out and can be heard via https://www.umamirecords.sg/xvan
