tendai shares his 3 Part Project 'Three.one' Including new single ‘Ugh Parents Evening’

On the pop feeling ‘Ugh Parents Evening’, Canning Town's very own tendai allows his enriching vocals to sit just above the off-beat drums, and electrifying synths that pulsate.

Allowing the freedom to experiment with sound and melody, tendai blurs the lines between genres to create something fresh and new providing a unique listening experience.

The singer expresses his discontentment with the state of his relationship and then proceeds to urge his love interest to talk it out hoping to find a middle ground. It perfectly escapes that feeling of being young and in love where the risk of miscommunication is high.

Speaking on the record, tendai explains: “… I want people to hear this record and feel london. this record is what it sounds like to be in lundun right now, you know.

I wanted more colour, more saturation in my music. there is an urgency, a rush of life & colour that I feel is locked in the sonic .

The accompanying visuals of the track provide even further colour by providing a cinematic narrative that is both playful and moving.

Complimenting the lyrics, we witness a disagreement of a young couple involved in a school romance, that quickly spirals into hurt, anger and heartbreak.

The East Londoner’s new EP three.one, out now, is made up of 3 tracks that explore tendai’s very own distinct soundscape raido.

Explaining the reasoning behind three.one tendai states: “when i think about the triptych, the word that rings out to me is freedom. I believe that it has the ability to free not only myself as an artist ; but those who choose to be inspired by it .

The freedom to be an artist who makes art. not a music maker on a conveyor belt, in a factory - a cog in 'the music industry'. i feel it gives me freedom to be more and say more…”
