Your Crush have released their new EP, Strawberry Sheets. The first 4 tracks on their album have already been previously released and now, their last track, the title song, “Strawberry Sheets” is officially out.
Indie pop duo, Your Crush are Hawai’i natives whose signature soft and dreamy bedroom acoustics are strongly juxtaposed by lyrics on heartbreak and regret. They have captured the hearts of listeners with their rawness.
This duo have sited bands like The 1975 and Death Cab for Cutie as well as solo artists like Taylor Swift as inspirations. Yan and Kahn have also produced and written songs for R&B and pop heavy hitters such as Tinashe, Jeremih and Ty Dolla $ign. Indicative of their versatility as artists, the duo’s music, “falls into the alternative pop genre…specifically soft pop”. They are both Asian-American – Yan being Cambodian-Japanese and Kahn being Korean-Japanese-Okinawan – to which they owe their unique experiences as pop artists. Their first single “London Eyes” was released in 2021 and it has now amassed over 200,000 streams on Spotify.
The meticulously crafted universe of Your Crush is delicately pastel and irresistibly cute, bringing to life a safe space where the pains of betrayal, loss and heartbreak are softened. The tracks on the Strawberry Sheets EP, which is released today, explore these difficult themes, painting a story of lessons learned in the most beautifully introspective way.
