Song description: The London-based R&B singer-songwriter Sylvia Yau merges the soft in her heart with the cool inspired by the neo-soul renaissance led by artists such as Cleo Sol, Raveena and The Internet.
This is the finer sensibilities of life: love and the simple nature of intimate vulnerability. Sylvia's words calls for a simple reprieve in embracing the realness of those you love. Germany's own beatmaking legend FloFilz (Alfa Mist, Biig Piig) lends his capable hand with head-bumping jazz hip-hop grooves in this remix of Give me your Real.
About Sylvia Yau:
For the British-born individual of Hong Kong Chinese descent who calls London her home, Sylvia Yau has constantly found her foundation with a fusion of cultural influences. She is a singer, a songwriter, and a guitarist whose voice has idealized strong social values, serving as a testament to her personal voyage of self-compassion and healing. During her teen years, Yau had gravitated to ethereal harmonies and intricate vocal layering, having previously performed under different monikers as a solo artist and with other ensemble endeavors.

lyrics
Maybe we're not everything everything everything
We try to
Live and let live with the beast and the bloom of our time
And maybe they are gaming us all they are turning us all on our sides
I thought that
Love is enough
Maybe love is enough, is it
Ooo give me your real as you see it
Ooo give me your real as you see it
Love (love), love is enough, is enough
Love (love), love is enough, is enough
Love (love), love is enough, is enough
Love (love), love is enough, is enough
Bear it they do as they've done as they've done as they've done
We're told to
Love and let love in the best and the worst of our times
And baby we are changing it all
We are coming for you from all sides
I think that
We are enough
Maybe we are enough
