Change The World
Bevlyn Khoo
Local singer-songwriter Bevlyn Khoo’s new EP comprises songs for television drama Jump Class, which aired recently on StarHub TV. Based on the comic of the same name by Johnny Lau of
Mr Kiasu fame, the show is about a primary school pupil who discovers he can travel to a less stressful parallel universe.
In keeping with the show’s youthful vibe, the songs here are mostly cheery and chirpy. Over a jaunty guitar and harmonica accompaniment on Haha Song, she sings charmingly: “Come along and sing along with me, don’t let your thoughts run wild/All together now, hahahahahahahaha.”
The title track is a paean to positivity and a call to action: “Change the world, change your space, step across that stubborn and invisible boundary.”
Think of it as a pick-me-up anthem for Monday mornings.
