Pearls is the debut album from singer Aisyah on the Groove Note label. It is Exclusively Available at NativeDSD in Stereo DSD 512, DSD 256 and DSD 128.

Groove Note’s latest recording artist, Aisyah, is a tremendously talented Singapore based vocalist who was recommended to them by current Groove Note recording star Vanessa Fernandez.

The top 10 finalist in a couple of regional vocal talent shows in her late teens, Aisyah was recently based in and recording in Malaysia for several years before returning to Singapore to pursue her own independent singing and songwriting career. Groove Note is honored to have been chosen by Aisyah for her very first fully independent recording session.

Working with a top guitarist-arranger (Sebastian Ho), Aisyah presents a mellow groove, audiophile friendly selection of contemporary and old school R&B hits and other favorites. The song selection runs the musical gamut, featuring covers of recent hits by Billie Eilish and Lianne La Havas all the way to a couple of Lou Reed and Bob Dylan classics from the ’70s along with further tasty selections by the likes of Chris Isaak, Sade and Roberta Flack.

The music program on the album also includes a couple of superb audiophile mixes, bonus alternate takes and a stunning and dramatic rendition of the well known standard “Smile“.
