Lim’s upcoming showcase is just one of multiple concerts announced for the Esplanade’s PopLore year-long programming. The PopLore programme was announced earlier this year and will entail 10 live concerts, a podcast series, an exhibition, a video series and more.

The programming will explore popular music in Singapore from the 1960s to the present, involving veteran musicians central to the country’s musical development as well as contemporary favourites and rising artists.

Lim recently partnered with UK musician/producer Sister Bliss of Faithless fame and music publishing company Prolific Songs and Tileyard Education to launch The Hit Academy Asia. Billed as an international songwriter and music production programme for both emerging and established musicians, The Hit Academy Asia is set to open this August and will offer weekly online songwriting, production and business classes and individual music industry mentoring.

Earlier this month, Lim released the single ‘Trade My Heart’ with Great Wave’s KEYANA, which follows three collaborative singles the Singaporean singer-songwriter released last year: ‘So I Say What’s Up’ with Singaporean hip-hop icon Sheikh Haikel, ‘Won’t You Come Around’ with another Great Wave artist in Aisyah Aziz, and ‘Forgetting’, with Melbourne producer Katz.
