Asian Star thuy Returns With Heartbreaking Video "playing tricks"

Rising R&B singer-songwriter thuy returns with a vulnerable new track "playing tricks", accompanied by a heart wrenching video. This single follows the release of her deluxe version of her critically-acclaimed EP 'i hope u see this'. 

The mind and the heart often find themselves in battle with each other. In "playing tricks", thuy continues to wear her heart on her sleeve. She writes about falling in love again after experiencing heartbreak in the past.

thuy explains, "Sometimes, your mind can play tricks on your heart and get in the way of something special, but this song is a reminder to believe in love and what's real."

 

"playing tricks”  is the soundtrack to a short film which highlights the story of a young woman and her journey as an expecting mother who undergoes child loss. The short film sheds light on the painful journey a young couple must work through. Touching on relationships, womanhood, and family, this film displays the strength of women within the family dynamic in addition to shedding light on a heartbreaking experience so many people go through but don’t speak about. 

The vibrant R&B artist of Vietnamese descent is determined to stand out in the world of pop music. She grew up surrounded by music and at the age of 9, knew she wanted to be a pop star. However, with no exemplars to look up to who looked like her, thuy traded her musical hopes for a career in medicine. After a few lacklustre years in the medical field followed by a chance visit to a studio, thuy finally saw what a professional career in music could look like.

Since then, the now Los Angeles-based artist has released several records showcasing her angelic vocals, skilful songwriting, and modern R&B stylings. Having amassed over 150 million global streams across her catalogue and garnered support from premier international publications including Billboard, Paper and Harper’s Bazaar, Thuy proves that her celestial voice and knack for earworm melodies are here to stay. 

Currently, her Top 10 Streaming Markets worldwide include Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan.
