24-year-old Filipino-Native American singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist TEHYA, hailing from L.A. via Seattle, has released new single and video "spoons for sweets" (lower case deliberate), and appropriately enough it's a sweet little pop/alt-soul gem.
About the track, TEHYA says: “Spoons stems from such a hyper-specific memory of a man I met a while ago literally stealing a dessert spoon for me. Our acquaintance was fairly short-lived, but every moment with him was so full of life, curiosity, and playfulness. We rarely play anymore, as adults. His demeanor inspired so much in me. 'spoons for sweets' dives into that light heartedness, as well as surrounding areas of my life, some more bittersweet than others, that the experience invoked."
The video sees TEHYA getting playful with said dude, while she recounts her relationship experiences. The music is restrained and gleefully minimal, the production spot-on.
