Chua will be performing a mixture of tunes from her last album Wallflower (2010) and songs from her upcoming album The Colour Wheel with her backing band and are certain to generate much excitement and buzz at her showcases. “I am always as nervous as I am excited when revealing new material,” confessed Chua. “The new album is still in development and for the past few months I have been experimenting and recording with my band. As exhausting as songwriting can be, the process has been immensely liberating to incubate my ideas and develop as an artist.”
