Indie Duo Milk@Coffee Tops Charts with New Song “No Time”

[kycoo]

Popular indie duo Milk@Coffee recently released a new single with simple lyrics, but ones that everyone can relate to. The begins with a minute of various celebrities saying what they lack time for. “I am __” they say, “I have no time for ____”. These neglected activities include listening to music, dating, losing weight, studying abroad, visiting relatives, having kids, and so many other commonplace ones that every listener should hear one they too pushed back at one point. The spoken introduction ends abruptly with Laure Shang saying: “My name is Shang Wenjie. I have no time to record whatever this is for you”.

The actual song’s catchy chorus sums up the sentiment behind the song: “I have no time. I have no time. I really have no time”. But it also offers optimistically in the end “I have to ask myself, shouldn’t I be stronger/ persevere?”

An anthem for this era, the single reached the top 3 of famous music site SoSo after only a week of release, just behind Wang Leehom.* Kiki, the singer in the duo said she was very glad, and appreciative that people were paying attention to their return to music.

Since their new single was released by Hua Yi, features many Hua Yi artists in the intro, and has a green flavoured MV (Hua Yi is known for its environmentalism), it’s possible that the duo is in fact, no longer indie, but has been signed by this major label. Milk@Coffe’s album will be out in September.

*Congrats Leehom! Love in Disguise became the highest-grossing Chinese-language film by a first-time director.
