I’ve had my fair share of prejudice against non American/British english accents.
How can I not? Historically, a perfect British or American accent often carry a certain cachet and is synonymous with a higher level of education.
.

But being ostracised over the way you speak is upsetting, especially when it has little to do with the content you’re trying to convey.
.

I find it important to remind myself and people around me, that people can be highly accented and still be intelligible and comprehensible.
.

I find it scary but worthwhile to dig into my subconsciousness - did I frown upon non American/British accents because I was taught it was academically the “right” way to speak, or did I take the white washing playbook into the marrow of my Asian bones to a point where I simply hate the fact I was born, Chinese, and I hate anyone who reminds me of that?
Maybe I fear my songs would be less valid if it was presented with a foreign accent?
By accepting the rules in this unequal play field, and altering my accent because of it, wouldn’t I be surrendering to everything I’m fighting against? The systematic oppression of non-whites, the inferiority complex most of us suffer from?

.

I am well aware that ALL lives matter, and it is unfair to blame a certain race for history. For nobody can rewrite history, and who’s to say if the tables are turned, things would be better off ? Just opening up the floor for discussion, an invitation to self discovery, if you ever feel uncomfortable about certain norms and can’t quite put a finger on it, welcome to the club 🖤

Sirène de ma vie
Y'a comme un blues au paradis
Comme une larme en béton noir
Glissée dans mon corsage du soir
Orage interdit
Y'a comme un pin's de nostalgie
Planté tout droit dans ma poitrine
T'as pas un cachet d'aspirine
Y'a comme un Manque d'Amour
Ouais
J'ressens un Manque d'Amour
Tout autour dans moi
Oh
Comme un Manque d'Amour
Ouais
J'ressens un Manque d'Amour
Tout autour

♡Siren of my life
It's like a blues in paradise
Like a black concrete tear
Sliding down my evening blouse
Storm forbidden
It's like a pin of nostalgia
Planted straight in my chest
Would you give me an aspirin
There's a kind of lack of love
Yeah
I feel a kind of lack of love
All around me
Oh
A kind of lack of love
Yeah
I feel a kind of lack of love
All around - Manque d'amour ♡ Lack Of Love
