Yeo Explores Perpetual Singledom & Abandonment Issues on Emo R&B Single “Obsession”

Continuing in his R&B experimentation, Yeo releases new single OBSESSION – a  subversive track that will leave you unsure of whether to laugh or cry.  

For those in the know, this song will hit home hard. A song about abandonment issues  and being perpetually single, Yeo drew inspiration from the likes of Weezer, Joji and  Phantom Planet to meticulously craft a soundscape that continues to expand his  chameleon-like sound. 

Starting with fresh beats laid over mellow guitars in the verse before feedback-heavy  electric guitars enter in the chorus, OBSESSION takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride  of emotions as Yeo’s unique ‘sadboi’ lyricism takes over.  

Bringing us on a complex journey of longing, relationships, mental health and family,  Yeo reminds us that life isn’t always picture perfect and that there doesn’t always  have to be a moral to every story for it to be meaningful. 

Never shying away from self-reflection and his cultural identity, last year saw Yeo performing in a language other than English for the first time, releasing the duet 好好的 過 (Have A Nice Life) with Taiwanese-Australian singer-songwriter Chendy in  Mandarin which was well-received by tastemakers and playlist curators around  South-East Asia.  

OBSESSION is the follow up single to U IN? in a handful of singles to be released this  year. Each single is accompanied by a cooking series of Yeo preparing and serving up  his favorite Asian comfort dishes.
