Singaporean singer-songwriter DEON has released his sophomore EP, ‘Melancholic Pop’.
The five-track EP carries the focus single ‘Why Do I Fool Myself’ and the fresh track ‘Chalice’. It also includes a handful of previously released songs, such as the solo track ‘Breathe In’, as well as his collaborations with Don Aaron on ‘Don’t Bother’ and NyaLi on ‘Melancholic Weekends’.
