Half a year after they turned 2020 into song, Welcome Jam is back to tackle the first half of 2021! We sing about what we’ve come to accept as the new(est) normal, the little grievances we don’t say but think in our heads—all to the tune of your favourite hits. From jazz to Disney to pop-rock, we’ll help you make the most of this Phase 3.

Featuring vocalists Cheryl Chitty Tan, Fauzi Azzhar, Tiara Yap, Stephanie Phang and Eugene Khong, as well as musicians August Lum and Jamie Lee, Close to Normal (But Maybe Not) will get your toes tapping and shoulders shaking—in tears or laughter, that’s completely up to you.

About the artists

Wilkommen, bienvenue, welcome to our little soiree. We sing. We dance. But unlike Mr. Mraz we didn’t steal anything—we borrowed songs and put our own spin to them. The world is nearly done completing another spin around the sun and it’s a good time to reminiscence all that has happened so far. Come chill with us at Flipside and we’ll jam to songs about 2020 and 2021—just as how Anne-Marie sang about her recollections of 2002.

Welcome Jam is a motley crew of creatives and performers made up of Cheryl, Fauzi, Steph, Eugene, Tiara, August and Jamie.
