Gentle Bones – real name Joel Tan – said of the upcoming record, per a press release: “I’ve never felt more confident and excited to create and put out music. I think for the first time in my music career, I’m truly making music that I feel I want to hear that I’m not getting from music that’s already out. It’s almost as if I’m filling in my own space and that’s really nice to do.”
Gentle Bones notably released his self-titled debut EP in 2015. His last full-length release was the 2018 joint album ‘B4NGER PROJECT’, recorded with Singaporean electronic dance producer MYRNE. He then released a three-track EP ‘Michelle’ that same year.
