A ray of morning light, a cup of cappuccino.

    A cluster of leaves arch into the river. At this moment, who will walk with you upon waking up in a foreign land?

    The morning breeze gently blows, the morning dew on flower petals resemble wet kisses of the night. Falling leaves cascade through the forest at dawn, as if yearning for a scattered dream.

    Colors pirouette between the music notes, morning dew gently reflect the delicate morning light, the gentle breeze creates ripples of fallen leaves.

    The 12 gardens of the city, every garden has a name. Every name has a secret, and only those kissed by the soul of the music will know.

    Every flower awakens, every flower blossoms.

    If there is a kind of music with wings, like angels, that will be the music of Low Shao Suan and Low Shao Ying. This pair of twin sisters from Singapore, having studied with renowned teachers,received numerous awards.

    For this brand new album, the Rhymoi team made its maiden trip abroad for production, and its producer, Ye Yun Chuan, personally oversaw the production at NUS. The 12 original compositions are a collection of light and poetic piano pieces. Flowing and passionate, delicate and fresh, tranquil and peaceful, like a clear stream that warms the heart.

    “Romance in the City”, is like colorful petals on the black and white keys. This CD is filled with freshness and tenderness, peace and quiet, and it unveils beautiful memories filled with love and yearning.

    "Tenderness", tender as a flower bud, everlasting tenderness that charms the heart;

    "Two", exquisite as lovers' secret conversations, along a secluded path by the sea, our love surpasses the change of time;

    "Always In My Heart", heartfelt and genuine as an angel, unwillingness to part, every moment is timeless, always treasured in my heart;

    "The Ballet Dancer", depicts the composer's self-portrait. Fanciful dance steps in the arena of life, create timeless life stories.

……

    Rippling ripples, revealing years of memories, like the throbbing of the heart, lamenting the fragrance of true love.

   This is a spiritual exchange. You are invited to sit on the carpet of fallen petals, or stroll along a path caressed by leaves from the evening breeze. Listen to the heartfelt words from the fingertips……

    You may inadvertently see and recall those intimate moments; our chance encounter, on a breezy morning, in the rain, in the moonlight, in eternity……
