Bad Intentions (Cassette Alternate Version)After going in and out of those 365 loops of counting days. Yufu’s new EP “To My Penpal '' was born. During the pandemic of the year 2020. Yufu regained his balance for creating music after re-collecting his thoughts for human connection. Differently from his original rock’n’roll roots, Yufu decided that he would compose his music in the style that he has always been touched and inspired by when he is not making rock music, Motown and Soul music. Those nights filled with nothing but 70s soul music made Yufu find himself and he believes it is soul music that could really translate his emotions. In this new EP, Yufu addresses the dependence humans form towards emotional and also physical interaction. In the song “Warm Fuzz” everyone seems to be looking for that warm fuzzy feeling and yet somehow this addiction can’t be treated. This warm fuzz always seems to slip through our fingers. “Our Vibrations” is a song about the emotions and lust we all possess, and it can either keep us alive or drive us mad. This EP is the sum of the notes Yufu has for himself. He truly believes it is through the vulnerability that makes him create honest music. The name of the EP “To My Penpal '' also represents the way Yufu wished that the world would communicate in, which is intimate, evasive and romantic.
