British Vietnamese artist Hongza unveils cover of Harry Styles’ classic ‘Cherry’
Sam Hong aka the mastermind behind Hongza reworks iconic Harry Styles’ track ‘Cherry‘ into his own. A British Vietnamese singer-songwriter oozin with talent, Hongza purses music as a profession which is frowned upon in a Vietnamese household.
Redefining Harry Styles legendary track ‘Cherry’ into a haunting soundscape fuelled with ambience, Sam mentioned, “Harry Styles holds a deer place in my heart, he is my fashion & musical icon. I wanted to do his track justice by creating a coming of age movie dream-pop ballad to cry to.
I love that he defies gender norms by wearing what the average ‘man’ wouldn’t. I chose Cherry out of all tracks because I remember first time listening to it and thinking that it’s so emo!”
Taking listeners through avenues of contemporary indie-pop, ‘Cherry’ is a captivating single that lives up to expectation.
Riding waves of reverberated guitars, heartfelt vocals and a hazy production, the latest single from Hongza is a finale to his lo-fi bedroom production, as he begins the next phase with a full band sound in 2021.
The world is your oyster, Sam. This is an artist destined for greatness, and you’ve heard it here first.
