Kien Lim sticks out like a sore thumb ... and in the best way possible. In an age when what’s in vogue today could easily be history tomorrow, the Petaling Jaya-born, Penang-based musician makes music that is timeless.
Sure, that is a bold claim, and besides, what is timeless music, anyway? Simply put, it’s music that never dates. He isn’t guided by any music fad nor does he adhere to the sign of the times. His straight up, no-filler, all-killer album, The Red Room, can easily justify that lofty claim of period-free music. And he delivers the six songs in it with panache and style.
