Asiya 2024 highlights quirky dance music, bubblegum pop, ‘hugot’

By Cynthia Montojo

“So many thoughts going through my head… exactly two years ago kasi medyo may mabigat akong pinagdaanan two years ago. ..two years ago ‘yun…siyempre hindi na ngayon…masaya na ‘yung buhay ko ngayon…hove on, move on din ‘pag may time, girl,” Singaporean singer-songwriter SHYE shared when one is stuck on ’80s and ’90s playlists, it is hard to think that one can enjoy  music festival that has mostly Gen Zs, Alphas and younger Millenials as its audience. 

Two-day Asiya Music Festival and Conference hosted musicians and artists in World Trade Center. 

Singaporean singer-songwriter, though evidently  bit shy, established camaraderie with her mostly Filipino audience. 

SHYE shared she wrote her own songs from her bedroom. Her songs remind listeners of  rainy day afternoon while cozying up in  room reading young adult fiction novels.

She sings about young love and unrequited love in “Flowers,” while she hopes for  better day for her loved ones in “How R U Sleeping.” 

Her cover of IV of Spades’ “Come Inside of My Heart,” earned her cheers and applause from  Filipino crowd who usually appreciates any foreign artist that covers Filipino songs. Incidentally,  Spades’ Zild also had his own set at  music fest.
