You Liang – Feel Addicted (2026)
Singapore-born but Tokyo-based, You Liang (ユーリャン) may be linked to the dance/house club scene; however, they are far more than resounding beats pumping across the audience. During 2023, Liang gained most traction, and from there, their sound turned heads and began to adapt to scenes, settings, and mostly, to reflect them as a producer and person. They note that they “…don’t chase genres. I build music to match the energy of my own sets, whether that’s future bass, hardstyle, trance or something entirely different. DJing is what shaped me as a producer, and I aspire to be a successful artist that plays open format over a wide range of genres.” The latest addition to their discography is the single, ‘Feel Addicted’.
Following their well-received 2025 singles, ‘Raindrops’ and ‘Don’t Stop’, Liang glides into 2026 with ‘Feel Addicted’. Unlike the heavy beats of ‘Don’t Stop’ and ‘Raindrops’, ‘Feel Addicted’ takes a sharp swerve in an R&B meets jazz meets hip-swaying Latin pop – a case of bold house beats sliced with organic instrumentation. While the bassline is a pulsating beat, it is the weave of a saxophone, piano, and the pop-filled vocals that really accentuate and capture the raw joy of ‘Feel Addicted’.
“The idea for ‘Feel Addicted’ sparked during my trip to Ibiza for IMS (International Music Summit). I was walking along the beach back to my hotel, and the atmosphere was just incredible – the sound of the ocean, the warmth, and that distinct Balearic vibe. I wanted to capture the feeling of that specific walk: happy, carefree, and soaking in the moment. It’s a snapshot of Ibiza brought back to my studio in Tokyo… It’s not about the dark club room this time; it’s about the sunshine and the walk home.” – You Liang on ‘Feel Addicted’
This is my introduction to Liang, and although I’m not the greatest dance music fan, they have pulled me into this vibrant, pop-driven vortex where ‘Feel Addicted’ led to an appreciation of ‘Raindrops’, ‘Don’t Stop’ and ‘Drive’. It’s still early in the day, but any mundane indifference was swept away; I definitely know what’ll be pumping through my speakers today, tomorrow and into the weekend.
