Jasper Sloan Yip

"Jasper's songs are earnest pop. They evoke a lyrical space that reveals the character of a Pacific metropolis - openness and depth in the presence of looming mountains, dazzling glass, steel and unending surf. These are songs of yearning for rooted connection in the urban setting, sung by a heart that bleeds. Jasper's tenor vibrato, at times a breathless whisper, at times a warbled cry, both the timbre of a soul having seen its share of hurt and celebrating it's return to joy."
