Her musical career has been nothing short of impressive. Within five years, Tan released her debut album Love Again, gained over 226,000 listeners on Spotify and performed at various notable music festivals.
Tan found similar reception as a romantic author, with her book Perfect Addiction being turned into a Prime Video movie, featuring actors Ross Butler, Kiana Madeira and Matthew Noszka as its leads. Adding to this list of achievements is her recent participation in Irish whiskey brand Jameson’s global music programme.
In celebration of this milestone, Tan opens up to theSun about the experience and valuable insights she gained from the collaboration.
It is because as an artiste in Malaysia, you are exposed to a certain kind of scene. So, it was jarring in a good way when I went overseas and was exposed to all these genres.
What does this partnership mean to you as an artiste?
Were you in any way anxious about the collaboration beforehand?
But honestly, everyone was there for the music. It was very natural. Everyone was there to vibe and have fun. That is the most raw way to make music. It was great.
Yes, I brought a distinct sound when I collaborated with my partner Kaiit. She was doing a soul and R&B sound and I was trying to see how that could merge with my pop sensibilities.
Speaking of which, what was it like working with Paak?
But it did not matter to me. He is great and has such a personality. It was just nice to be around his presence. He also gives good advice. I remember asking him for advice on how to stand apart from other artiste, seeing how many artistes that post on Spotify every day.
But we forget sometimes music is really just about having fun with your band mates. We have to be good at that first before we make music.
To be more open to ideas. Sometimes, I get stuck and think my idea is the best. But when we are collaborating with other artistes, their vision and ideas are also going to be good. We need to be open to that during the process.
Were there any musical takeaways from this journey – particularly from working alongside Paak – that you will carry onto your next album?
For the new album, we are exploring more R&B because of all the genres that I was exposed to. Also, a lot of jazz and a bit more soul. I am trying to bring depth into my music.
