Warren Hue Rlease Debut Album Boy Of The Year

Jakarta native Warren Hue releases his debut album, BOY OF THE YEAR. BOY OF THE YEAR is a sonically complex body of work, dabbling in both hip hop and electronic music, with sprinkles of pop throughout.  The album sees the city of Los Angeles through Warren’s eyes, told through genre-blending sounds and lyrical complexities. It’s his personal account of moving away from Indonesia, pursuing his dreams in music, and the challenging obstacles and vibrant triumphs he experienced being in a new city.

 

The album release comes alongside a dynamic music video for "IN MY BAG" with Tobi Lou - WATCH HERE. "IN MY BAG" is bouncy and transcendent, assisted by a poetic verse from Tobi Lou. The two artists blend seamlessly on the experimental hip hop track. "IN MY BAG" is the fourth single off of BOY OF THE YEAR, a follow-up to the release of "HANDSOME" (416K streams), which was produced by longtime collaborator and South Korean producer, Chasu. The song made its debut during Warren's set at 88rising's HEAD IN THE CLOUDS FESTIVAL last year and he performed the track once more at his sold-out party series “PARTY IN WEST” in Los Angeles.  The party series featured appearances from AG Club, Rich Brian, redveil, yvngxchris and more. Earlier this year, Warren also released three singles leading to this project including standout track "W" with yvngxchris and "RUNAWAY W ME".

Warren Hue Releases New Song + Visual For "Handsome"

Today, Jakarta native Warren Hue releases his new single “HANDSOME” alongside the music video (WATCH HERE). "HANDSOME" serves as the third single from his forthcoming debut studio album BOY OF THE YEAR and a follow-up to the release of  "W" (with yvngxchris). “HANDSOME” is an experimental hip-hop track produced by longtime collaborator and South Korean producer, Chasu. The production features an addictive tempo that steadily ramps up as Warren delivers his rapid flow in between chorus breaks.

When talking about the inspiration behind the single Warren states: “HANDSOME is a song from my album BOY OF THE YEAR and it’s a concept based on the fabricated lifestyle of an artist having jewelry and expensive things to feel successful in this journey. I would say this is an experimental rap song with interesting chorus breaks and a completely different Outro segment. The process was really fun because my intent for this song was just to have fun but it turned into a whole new idea.”
