Lucinda explains:

“Following the release of YIAN, I had the opportunity to perform my music and connect with new audiences across Europe and Asia. Reclaiming The Rose is a bi-lingual meditation exploring ideas of returning, remembering and retracing ancestral roots. I was inspired by the journey of the rose; a plant indigenous to China that made its way to the UK in the 1700s. I met the artist and poet He Sun at a music festival in Italy and found a kinship with one of her poems. I wanted to set these words to music, to hear the words spoken in both their English and Mandarin form. I asked my friend Xiaoqiao to join me on the final song.”

Since the release of YIAN, Chua has been developing her live shows across the UK and and more. performing at festivals, including Rewire in the Netherlands, Lost Festival in Italy and Mucho Flow in Portugal. She also performed alongside Kelsey Lu in Beijing for Hermes, was the first international guest invited to take part in homegrown live sessions in Shanghai, improvised a two-piece set for the Gagosian Art Gallery in London for the “Christo: Early Works” exhibit, and performed alongside Coby Sey and Talvin Singh as part of Nicholas Daley’s Woven Rhythms Festival in London’s Southbank Centre.
