Thuy’s soothing vocals and authentic lyricism and honesty stand out in this project. i hope u see this is a beautiful and introspective collection of records touching on heartbreak, love, empowerment and self-confidence. i hope u see this arrives when the excitement for her music has never been stronger.
“The project has been in the works since the pandemic started, and when I thought of the title i hope u see this, I immediately knew that this is what I was going to call the project. Every track has a message that I felt needed to be heard,” says Thuy. “Songs like ‘chances’ and ‘figured u out’ are songs about my past heartbreaks and how much it taught me to be a better lover, especially to myself. ‘in my bag’ is a message to all the non-believers but more importantly, stands as an empowering anthem to myself. ‘universe’ and ‘u got me’, are love notes.”
“The title track is my audio signature and it really encapsulates all these themes into one song to close everything out. The music video for this last track is so important because it’s a look into my younger self, growing up, my culture, and how music, dancing, and singing was my sanctuary. I’m just in my little world, while my family, who also appears in the video, live out their daily life as immigrants,” says Thuy. “It’s just a cool backstory to who Thuy is, because that is also a really important theme to i hope u see this. As much as I hope the toxic ex sees this, or that the haters see this, I also hope that the little Asian girl or boy at home sees this and feels inspired by what I’m doing and think, ‘hey maybe I can do this too’. So there are a lot of themes that I touch on but it was important for me to highlight my culture and where I come from.”
With this project, Thuy hopes to inspire confidence in others and to be a voice for those who want to feel seen. 2021 marks a turning point for the relative newcomer who gained recognition for her powerful vocals and skillful songwriting from Billboard, MTV, Paper, NBC, Flaunt, Apple Music Best New Songs and more.
