Today, Malaysian artist alextbh has released a brand new single titled "still mine." The track debuted with The Line of Best Fit here is available for streaming now here.
The song, which rides a subtle line between lush R&B and industrial pop, is the first taste of alextbh's 2018 output and a bold one at that. Describing "still mine," alextbh notes, "Very excited to see people reacting to 'Still Mine'; to me pushing the queer POC narrative. We exist, we get heartbroken, and we expect to have songs that reflect just that."
Living openly gay and unafraid to proudly embody his queer identity, alextbh is an anomaly among a highly conservative and unaccepting Malaysian society where the government has been outwardly and outspokenly opposed to the LGBTQ community. For him, music is not only an outlet for resistance but a platform to incite strength and resolve within his local (and global) community.
Since his 2016 debut release "tbh," alextbh has amassed over 10 million Spotify streams with track "Stoop So Low" garnering 7MM+ streams alone. He was also featured on the cover of Spotify Malaysia's 'New Music Friday' playlist here:
The 21-year-old Kuala Lumpur native is already a veteran among stages across Southeast Asia, performing for Good Vibes Festival in Malaysia and Laneway Festival in Singapore, along with opening slots for Clean Bandit and Sevdaliza.
