It’s rare for an artist to pivot their sound and pull it off, but alan vuong makes it look effortless. Ahead of his upcoming EP, HEAVEN SENT ME, the independent Vietnamese-American artist released “SAUDADE,” a dreamy, nostalgia-laced ballad made for late-night driving. As his grandest sonic vision yet, the song blends ‘90s pop influences with post-punk beats that sound fresh, leaving us counting down the days until the full project arrives June 26.
