Setting the tone with a masterful yet intimate piano performance, Allen Kai-Lang Yu opens One Shared Destiny with an emotive and captivating energy. Needless to say, we are in awe.
The composition expands with an atmospheric and charismatic vocal delivery as Allen sings, “Walking past the mountains and the sea, a voice came falling over me, I look further than I have ever dared, no longer lonesome and afraid…”
We immediately connect with the poetic prowess and theatrical adjacent vibe that Allen Kai-Lang Yu generates with his composition. The journey that he takes us on philosophical, emotional, inspiring, and vibrant.
The classically trained pianist and lifelong composer tells us, “In a world increasingly on edge, I would like to dedicate this song to world peace.” The single is taken from Allen’s new record, Winds of Change, which is an intentional body of work, designed to help us open our hearts and minds.
Allen says, ““The key to peace is to recognise our common humanity, our common bonds, our common destiny… The more we recognise we are fellow brothers and sisters, the more mutual respect we have for each other, the less we are afraid, the more chance we can give peace a chance.”
Allen confesses how his creative process offers a refuge for his thoughts and emotions, and now the artist hopes that his music can do the same for audiences the world over. He says, “To be this open with my most private creations require me to be comfortable with my talent and its limitations, and my personal hopes and fears. I am glad and relieved that this album is being released. May this music bring listeners as much tranquillity and joy as it has me.”
We love what Allen Kai-Lang Yu has to offer, and have added One Shared Destiny to our New Music Spotlight playlist, as well as our brand new TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream Winds of Change!
