Honesty

After years of creating behind the scenes, singer-songwriter and producer Kuo Yu returns as PO, debuting with "Honesty", an album that reimagines songs from his early 20s in a fresh, genre-blending style. Known as 90u for his vocals on popular game soundtracks, including Identity V, PO now steps forward with an unfiltered and deeply personal project that spans pop rock, folk, electronic, and psychedelic elements, drawing inspiration from hip-hop beats and innovative sound design.

"Honesty" marks a new chapter for PO, who first gained attention with his ambitious 2017 album Mindscape Implosion, a concept piece that blended rock, metal, and classical music to tell a unique, multi-layered story. After relocating to Japan, PO produced music for various projects, while privately reworking these early songs—a process that became a journey of self-discovery and a reflection on his creative past.

"Honesty" offers an intimate look into PO’s artistic evolution, embracing the raw, unpolished ideas of his youth with the skill and perspective gained over years of growth. This first Mandarin release captures a candid portrait of an artist stepping out to share his story, inviting listeners to experience the heart and soul of PO.
