Following on from the success of his previous singles ‘Her’ and ‘Alive’, Singapore-based indie-folk artist Lincoln Lim has returned with his glowing new single ‘Losing’ – the third part of his five-part series of releases.
Taking cues from contemporaries Damien Rice and Ben Howard, ‘Losing’ opens with mesmerising harmonies and meditative soundscapes, leading the listener on a journey through Lincoln’s soothing melodies and silky percussion. The gospel-laden track is meticulously produced, boasting subtle yet apt touches of floating church bells, right through to its intricate string arrangements.
Lincoln talks about the meaning behind ‘Losing’: “‘Losing’ is an exploration, a re-emphasis of the quiet moments that exist between the bigger, life-defining ones. Personally, songs tend to feel like an endless cycle of incredibly definitive moments, like an infinite loop of breaking up and getting together, all while ignoring the realities of the one, two, five or even fifty years of trying to feel normal again between them. ‘Losing’ is my way of delving into those periods, a story about someone who travels the world trying to forget someone but ends up still feeling their presence in every amazing sight they come across”.
To coincide with the release, Lincoln will soon be announcing his return to Australia, presenting a live show that has seen him become a staple of the local scene in Singapore for the last eleven years. Over the course of his career Lincoln has worked tirelessly traversing around South-East Asia and Australia.
Previous singles have been added to Spotify’s New Music Friday across six different countries and seen support from Harper’s Bazaar and local tastemakers JUICE, Bandwagon and Hear65. His single ‘Her’ peaked at #23 on Singapore’s Spotify Viral 50 Charts.
In the coming weeks Lincoln Lim will reveal an accompanying music video for ‘Losing’.

My Favourite New Music
1: BON IVER
‘Faith’
Faith is a song that just resonated so strongly with me when I first heard it, combining the honesty of their lyrics with some of the best production work Bon Iver has ever released. What can I say, Justin Vernon holds the keys to my tear ducts, and I haven’t stopped bawling since.
.
2: LEWIS CAPALDI
‘When the party’s over’ (Cover)
I have an odd attraction to re-interpretations of songs, and I have to say Lewis Capaldi really left it all on the stage here. His delivery is heart-wrenching and unrestrained, and it completely brought the song and the lyrics to a whole new level, as all covers should.
Plus, doesn’t hurt to be related to a Doctor now does it?
.
3: FIREFLY SEARCH PARTY
‘I’m Not Gonna Lose You’
This song is like a little happy pill, filled with folk-poppy goodness, putting a smile on your face every single time. The melodic hooks are absolute earworms and you can’t help but feel like dancing when you listen to it, wherever you are (proven!) Definitely one of the best debut singles I’ve ever heard!
.
4: THE LUMINEERS
‘It Wasn’t Easy To Be Happy For You’
It’s this simple: The Lumineers can do no wrong.
Their ability to keep putting out honest-to-goodness amazing folk-pop songs reminds me that great melodies and better lyrics never go out of style.
Needless to say, this song is gonna be on repeat for quite a while!
.
5: THE TESKEY BROTHERS
‘Man Of The Universe’
I’ve been a fan of Melbourne-based band The Teskey Brothers for a few years now, and I would say this is one of their best releases ever. The song’s Motown elements and RnB sensibilities match up fantastically with Josh Teskey’s bluesy, soulful tone for an instant Sunday afternoon easy listening classic. Just turn the stereo up and pour yourself a pint and you’re all set for fantastic time!

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
