Thuy releases a lovely lyric visualizer for her “111” single
|
|
2020 was a difficult year for many, and for Thuy (twee), it was no different. The LA-based singer-songwriter from the Bay Area, California, penned introspective words reflecting her state during a heightened time of worry, anxiety, and stress. Facing these thoughts, a bright and inspiring “111” was written as a reminder to trust in herself and not give up on days where dark thoughts overcame her. For Thuy, inspiration comes from within.
“Sometimes I feel like I’m walking through life and I’m like motionless. For some people, it could feel like you’re just going through the motions. And there is no intent behind anything because you’re dealing with all these demons and anxiety in your head. I deal with a lot of anxiety. There were many times where I was like screw music. I don’t want to do this anymore. But I remind myself, ‘look how much you’ve accomplished. Don’t stop now.’ I feel like this song can be relatable in so many realms: work, personal, and relationships. I just hope this message gets across to people to help them get through whatever it is they need to get through.” – Thuy explained
‘111’ contains an introspective narrative, ear-pleasing vocals, and tuneful melodies that will resonate well with fans of Arian Grande, Kehlani, and Kiana Lede. Thuy hopes her music continues to inspire confidence in others and to be a voice for those who want to feel seen.
