Written and produced by Yeo and featuring Charlie Lim, ‘By Myself’ is an R&Btinged duet with mellow bass-driven tones and a gentle bouncing rhythm. It sets a warm scene for two characters reaching out to each other after finding themselves in a dark place.
“‘By Myself’ is about striving to be a better person. I’ve made big mistakes and learnt some big lessons. Now I’m doing my best to stop judging people so quickly and show them empathy instead ” – Yeo
Yeo and Charlie Lim first met years ago in Melbourne when Charlie joined Yeo’s band. After discovering a mutual love for D’Angelo and pushing boundaries, a strong friendship was forged, though Charlie would soon move back to Singapore to pursue his solo career. After almost a decade, the pair reconnected to co-produce Charlie’s latest and most adventurous album CHECK-HOOK. This reignited the great chemistry between them, and ‘By Myself’ was conceived. Yeo and Charlie shared the stage once again at Mosaic Music Festival with Charlie performing guest vocals during Yeo’s set and the pair recently debuted their duo live show this year at Music For A Cause at OCBC Arena Park, Singapore.
"Yeo is a dear friend and we go way back. I've always considered Yeo as one of the best songwriters and producers to come out of Australia, and for me to get to sing on his new single is a real treat" – Charlie Lim ‘By Myself’ is the third single lifted from Yeo’s forthcoming album Recovery Channel. The album highlights Yeo’s genre-bending production as he continues to push the dimensions of contemporary R&B, pop and electronic music and will include the new single alongside 'The Comments' and 'Restless'.
Recovery Channel is about Yeo’s experience as a person of colour struggling to find confidence, a place to belong, and proof of his own humanity. The record explores themes of conflict, love, and the rarity of hope.
