The Best Singaporean Music of 2022

We’re back!

It’s been a couple of rough years, and it’ll continue to be so, but thank you for sticking around. We’ll be heading into even more storms, but amidst the world’s crises and life’s troubles, listening has helped us stay sane in the team – as we emerged from the pandemic, we got ourselves back up and running too with shows here at Big Duck, starting from our return at C U THERE! to bringing in Malaysian punk firebrands No Good, to kickstarting our intimate B-4 showcase series. As we restart our editorial presence alongside our live events, we’re all just hoping for one thing: to see and celebrate music roaring back to life, with new voices and exciting new sounds. To kick in 2023, we’re chipping in with what we love – here’s a list of what we thought was amongst the most exciting music from our island released last year. Happy listening, and C U soon! - JX Soo
