Love, no matter the distance, can be a wild ride. "Oyster"- a collab between Chinese-Canadian producer HMLT and Filipino-Canadian artists Eric Ryan and Julles, dives headfirst into that rollercoaster.

HMLT (pronounced "Hamlet") is no rookie in the music game. He's dropped EPs, and remixes, and joined forces in his role as a producer with all sorts of talents such as Jon Vinyl, TiKA, Hodgy, Cherry22, Mighloe, and many more. "Oyster" is the second single off of HMLT's upcoming project titled Studio Paradise, released via his own DIY label, Takes a Village Music.

In just two short minutes, "Oyster" dishes up the struggle of loving from afar. It's like trying to hold on to a precious pearl, even as the ocean of separation threatens to pull you apart. HMLT's lush production sets the vibe, think mellow beats and emotive melodies, letting Eric Ryan and Julles spill their hearts out.

"Honestly, 'Oyster' is the fastest song I’ve ever penned. It’s about long-distance love. You want it to work, but the miles make it tough. You both know it, but saying it out loud? That's a different story.", shares Julles

If you think "Oyster" is just another love song, think again. It's a profound dive into the depths of long-distance love, where raw emotions run the show.
