LISTEN TO SINGER-SONGWRITER JEAN TAN’S LO-FI JAZZ-HOP REMIX OF ‘OAK CHERRY WINE’, A COLLABORATION WITH KOREAN ARTISTE 양중은YANG JUNG EUN

As a follow up to her recently-released 5-track EP, ‘Blooms’, Singaporean singer-songwriter Jean Tan will be releasing a remix of her spellbinding single, ‘Oak Cherry Wine’. Produced by Singaporean music producer, Feng Lee, the remix is a collaboration with Korean YouTube artiste 양중은 Yang Jung Eun and is available on all music platforms today on 29 January 2021.

Written in her distinctive, bluesy vein, ‘Oak Cherry Wine’ is a love song interwoven with Jean’s personal experiences. It tells the story of Jean’s personal struggles with kidney disease, and of the man who stood by her in the celebratory and difficult moments alike. Like all truly good romance stories, the song’s lyrics has a bittersweet tinge, and is all the better for it – a love that is tried and true.

Marrying Jean’s lyrical sensitivity with 양중은Yang Jung Eun’s dulcet vocals, this refreshing take stays true to its original composition. The remix is elevated by a new arrangement – a lo-fi beat, the jazz-hop push and pull, the syncopated neo-soul electric piano – becoming more than just the sum of its parts. “It was a surreal experience working across borders while the world was on lockdown for much of 2020. The collab took off really well because June Eun is such an amazing and friendly guy! I guess we were just trying to make the best out of a crazy year”, says Jean Tan on working together with 양중은Yang Jung Eun.

Jean Tan will also be releasing an accompanying music video of the newly remixed version on 14 Feb 2021, made available on her YouTube channel. Directed by Stockholm-based Singaporean film director, Mandy Tay, the video features a pair of lovers dancing through the quotidian scenes of Stockholm city.

Traditional meets contemporary, and ballet meets street dance, as the couple whirl around each other in a dream state, swirling like a glass of (oak cherry) wine.

Jason YOLT Story on MediaCorp

There was so much excitement waiting for 11 May 2018 9.30pm to come. It was amazing to watch Jason YOLT Story on MediaCorp Channel 5 on television. A story that we are so familar with, yet once again we are impacted by the fact that Jason YOLT is a walking miracle. Not only that he is alive and very well, but is ready to fulfill the purpose of his second chance in life.

It is our honour to be working with Jason YOLT, who is both purpose-driven and down-to-earth, shaped by the near death accident and ardous recovery process. An even more powerful part of his story is his ability to forgive the man who nearly took his life and his legs. He walked his talk about choices – choosing to focus on the positive instead of the negative. The footage of Jason having a chat with the man who knocked him down in all smiles and at peace is a testimony of a wholesome recovery of not just physical, but also within his soul. He is a reminder to us that there is little reason to complain but to be thankful.

Below is  the 30min documentary video of Jason YOLT story featured in “On the Red Dot 2018 – EP 6 on 11 May 2018 Friday – Trouble Abroad 2.”

Jean Tan on Generation Grit

More than 100,000 views for Jean Tan on Generation Grit in less than 2 weeks! Below is the the video and a special shout out to Tam Mei and Samuel for producing, filming and editing.

We are stoked by the favour that The Straits Times have given to Jean in telling her story and the responses received. Jean is very encouraged by the love and concern from netizens who took time to write to her. We too, while reading the comments and private messages, are touched by the love.

Jean Tan on Generation Grit Comments

“A friend once shared with me that suffering is often the gap between what you expect and what is reality. And when we can’t come to terms with that gap, we throw ourselves into bewilderment or depression. So for myself, learning to accept reality for what it is, learning to accept that there are limitations to myself at this point of time. But also not stopping there, because if I just lower all my expectations and I stay at that point, I’m never gonna get better. So it’s kinda holding the two in balance.” (3:00-3:25)

Jean has been an inspiration to us in SOOS OIO in more ways than one. While holding a full-time job, she seeks excellence in her music and craft. This persevering meekness is a force that pushes her and us to take a step at a time, regardless how slow or hard. We hope to spread Jean’s story to those who need encouragement especially when life throws us a curve ball. Stay tuned for more of Jean’s updates by following her social media @jeantanmusic.
