Local music label AOR Global’s freshest gem Haven is checking all the boxes of a star: She croons in both English and Chinese, rocks a cool street style, and she’s just 16 years old. But that comes as little surprise as she was one of three artistes handpicked by the company for its Reach Programme, which guides new talents in becoming a superstar performer. Apart from swaying to Haven’s melancholic vocals in her sophomore single Blue, we found ourselves taking a page from Haven’s eclectic e-girl aesthetic.
You might have realised that the soft romantic days of VSCO filters are in its final hours on Instagram, and we have been making a steady transition into the era of e-girls (and boys).
