Promise: A Second Chapter of Commitment and Staying True

Singapore-born, Hong Kong-based DJ and producer MJ Kuok is poised to announce a brand new album release with the arrival of ‘Promise’. With its release on the 21st of January, the album is MJ Kuok’s second electronic music chapter in his ever-growing journey.

Fusing elements of chilled ambient soundscapes, deep romantic House melodies over an enliven, silky production, the album ‘Promise’ consists of previously released singles including dawn-breaking, ‘Aurora’, as well as high-spirited track, ‘Our Song’. With his previous album ‘Atlas’ (released in September 2021) which charted the artist’s growth in self-discovery, first-hand life experiences in fulfillment, love, and adulting, this brand new album ‘Promise’ unfolds a tale of a forever commitment and staying true to oneself and a loved one.

“Commitment, no matter how big or small is a lot for anyone to decide on taking upon. Working on this album came from a time that things were slowly falling into place while being a work in progress. That made me certain this was the path I wanted to work towards, both personally and to my loved ones. This album, ‘Promise’ serves as a reminder to anyone to be brave when it comes to commitment. In the long run, taking the first step towards your goal is always worth it because you’re not alone.” explains MJ Kuok.
