Not just a song, but first and foremost an impassioned call for resilience and self-improvement. Reassuring listeners that everything will be eventually fine, Singapore-based singer-songwriter Ethan Loke takes an honest look at mental health issues from a personal perspective, delving into the darkest times yet also highlighting the subsequent hope. ‘You’ll Be Fine’ is exactly that: a delicate, gentle alt-folk and pop effort. The song layers such fragile lyricism upon elegant piano chords and buoyant drums.
Notably, it’s all self-produced and written by the talented creative himself, showcasing the high degree of musical competence he has to offer. Delivered by Noke’s firm yet jagged vocals, ‘You’ll Be Fine’ doesn’t play around the subject it covers: echoing Ethan’s personal experience, including a tragic suicide attempt, the song seeks to shine a light on what many people often silently go through, reminding us all that there’s, in fact, a light at the end of the tunnel, and all problems can be treated if properly dealt with.
As Noke eloquently explains: “This release is an important piece to highlight the struggle of people suffering from mental health-related illnesses in this present day, with the ever-growing ‘pandemic’ of mental health illness across the world.”
