Jason Yu Has Finally Released His First EP Titled “Ideals”

  • By Bryan Goh

Congrats Champ, Jason Yu Has Released His First EP "Ideals"
Jason Yu has made you cry because (urh)  breakups and breakdowns and he has given you some kind of existential crisis because who are we in this huge wide world?! But he’s not all rain drops and heartache, he has also sung about love and all its little idiosyncrasies.

But for his debut EP titled “Ideals”, Jason Yu will be releasing a new single titled “I Miss You” on the same day (the EP also contains all his other songs).



Stripped-down lyrics, an easy guitar and piano accompaniment and the loneliness that comes with being abroad solo (do you want to talk, Jason?), “I Miss You” is in his words More often than not, we take what’s already there for granted. I learnt that through being homesick while living abroad. Home for me, encompasses its people, my family who are very important to me. This single is for them.”

According to Jason Yu himself, “To anyone and everyone who is listening to my music, don’t give up on your ideals. No matter what challenges we face, we should not let setbacks deter us from striving towards our goals. While they might bring about some pain, it’s also what helps to push us forward to give it our all, and to achieve what we want is all the more worth it.”

That to us, is some positivity we need. We mean, we’re only in March so pick up the phone today and give a loved one a text. Or even better, drop them a call. If you’re a Gen Z-er, that’s how we used to communicate.

Catch “I Miss You” by Jason Yu on Spotify or, watch him debut it live this Sunday at 8.30pm here with tickets being sold here. We also highly encourage you to catch up with our March 2021 issue.
