The spin in this year’s Singapore Writers Festival (SWF) is a strong musical component to the programming.

In keeping with the theme of "Plot Twist", which seeks to present the unexpected, the festival features personalities such as Susan Rogers, who was the late American pop legend Prince’s sound engineer, and hip hop historian Jeff Chang, as well as programmes celebrating 50 years of hip hop.
