mui zyu returns with new single, “everything to die for"
Hong-Kong British artist mui zyu has returned with her first single in over a year, "everything to die for".
"everything to die for" follows her debut full-length, Rotten Bun for an Eggless Century, which came out last February.
On the track, mui zyu shares: “This song arrived so fast, like a gift from somewhere else, the words and music poured out altogether and the final version is musically identical to the original sketch. I’d never written a love song and had been listening to lots of romantic music and this just teleported in. I love chromatic melodies as they are hopeful and naive but can feel unnerving, all of which embody ideas of love to me.”
The PRS Foundation awarded mui zyu with their Momentum Fund for this recording which allowed her to work at Middle Farm Studios in Devon with long-time collaborator, Luciano Rossi. They continuously re-recorded the vocal in search of the performance from the original demo - which Eva achieved by getting up to record at 5am without speaking or warming up before.
"everything to die for” is out now on Father/Daughter Records.
