Singapore pop
artist Dominic Chin has released ALONE, the 6th single from his upcoming debut
EP
License To Cry, via Singapore
indie label Umami Records.
In this deeply
personal song, the singer-songwriter lays bare his struggles with anxiety
disorder.
“Dear don't let me
go, let me go tonight,” he pleads desperately in the chorus, accompanied by a
minimalist, gentle electro-pop beat that gives the track its melancholic,
intimate vibe. ALONE takes a step back from the dance floor and finds a way to reflect
on life decisions cautiously, without resorting to self-sabotage.
“The song is about
my anxiety order and how it affects all the relationships in my life,” Dominic
Chin shares in a statement. “Finding love and peace with good healthy
relationships but feeling tremendously undeserving of it, resulting in me
wanting to sabotage the relationship. The song talks about feeling conflicted
about my relationships, being totally defeated and yearning for some help while
I fight my battles with feeling disorientated by all that is going on in my
mind.”
The acclaimed
Singapore-based artist also clarifies that ALONE is not a song meant to uplift
anybody. “It’s a song to let people who struggle with anxiety issues like me to
know that they are not alone, and that I too struggle with it on a day to day
basis and I’m still here.”
Dominic Chin’s
debut EP License To Cry is scheduled
for release on 9 October 2020, followed by his debut show at the Esplanade
Singapore on 26 December 2020.
