June, 27 2025 – Following the introspective legacy of his 2019 debut Mirror Work, Singapore-based singer-songwriter Dru Chen returns with Mirror Work 2 — a soul-baring, genre-fluid album that explores identity, perfectionism, and the search for self-worth.
Tracklist:
- Everyone Is A Star (with Nathan Hartono, Aynsley Green)
- Atlas (with Haneri)
- Please Mister (Won’t You Play The Blues)
- These Chords Will Do (with Chok Kerong)
- Not Bad Is Not Good Enough
- Renaissance (with Marian Carmel)
- Shades Of You (with Heema Izzati, Thaarmin)
- In The Water 雨中燃烧 (with Joanna Dong)
- The Waves (with Will Beale)
- Mirror Work 2
- Make It Alright (with Gentle Bones)
Across eleven tracks, Dru blends the emotional intensity of Jeff Buckley, the guitar fire of Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton, the psychedelic soul of Prince, and the melodic storytelling of Fleetwood Mac and Jimi Hendrix. The result is a rich, unfiltered listening experience that fuses rock balladry, neo-soul grooves, and indie rawness.
Experimental and vulnerable; Dru gives us a glimpse into his soul
Standout single “Not Bad Is Not Good Enough” channels the pain of feeling unseen in a toxic relationship, paired with an emotional music video that mirrors the song’s inner turmoil. The title track, “Mirror Work 2,” is a raw, one-man-band performance — recorded in whole takes with no pitch or timing correction — capturing Dru at his most vulnerable.
A tracklist boasting the best of Singapore’s musical talents
The album features collaborations with Nathan Hartono, Haneri, Chok Kerong, Joanna Dong, Marian Carmel, Gentle Bones, Thaarmin, and Heema Izzati, adding texture and soul to its core themes of healing and self-acceptance.
Available for purchase on Limited Edition Vinyl
With a limited edition vinyl pressing on the way and a featured guest appearance on the Lion City Rock podcast, Mirror Work 2 marks Dru’s most personal and powerful project to date—a sonic mirror for anyone brave enough to look inward.
