New Music Monday: Yeo Owns His Mistakes In Slow-Burning New Single ‘Never Miss’

Yeo has returned, releasing his first single of 2022, ‘NEVER MISS’.

Not one to shy away from digging into dark topics, Yeo is earnest, remarkably introspective, and wilfully self-deprecating, offering a uniquely subversive take on the personal battles we all face.

‘NEVER MISS’ opens with gentle, almost coy guitar finger-picking. Slowly building into layered guitars and simmering percussion, the song is a slow burn; rather than amping up the volume, Yeo goes the opposite direction, muddying the once-clear guitars and beats into this heavy, grungy pull that sucks us in before spitting us out once again.
 
‘NEVER MISS’ shows Yeo’s growth as a person and a musician.

“NEVER MISS is about having the self-confidence to face criticism, knowing you can’t please everybody. It’s an amalgam of feelings inspired by a range of situations I’ve witnessed involving work, romantic relationships, my sporting life, my friends and my family. I really wanted to revisit my beloved process of lo-fi storytelling and apply a mature pop twist,” Yeo tells us, speaking on his latest release.

The accompanying visuals to ‘NEVER MISS’ present the final in Yeo’s cooking series of his favourite Malaysian-inspired comfort dishes. Here, Yeo buys, prepares, and serves up a whole Steamed Fish to the instrumentation of this latest song.
