This Song Is Yours
Linying
Our guest today on the podcast is alternative pop songwriter Linying. Originally from Singapore and now based in Los Angeles, Linying crafts dreamy, atmospheric pop that wouldn’t feel out of place alongside artists like St. Vincent, Mitski, or Men I Trust. In April, she released her stunning sophomore album Swim, Swim—a beautifully fluid record shaped mostly by her time spent on the remote island of Siargao. Exploring themes of love, self-discovery, and femininity, the album is a serene and introspective listen that rewards close attention. While we were in LA, we sat down with Linying to talk about this new chapter. We chat about how the solitude of island life reframed her approach to songwriting, her experience co-producing the record, and the lessons she’s continuing to learn along the way. We also discuss her hopes for bringing Swim, Swim to the stage.
