Lindsey Yung Returns with the “Fire and Rain” MV

Singer/songwriter Lindsey Yung isn’t one of the perpetually present artists on Youtube, but she does manage to make an appearance now and then. “Fire and Rain” is the latest music video from the former Kollaboration Acoustic contestant, and comes from her The Benchmark EP. The song is a sweeping acoustic ballad, similar to the style of Sarah McLachlan or maybe even 90′s Jewel. It’s a pleasant (though semi-melancholy) listen to wind down the weekend.

Lindsey Yung Reveals the MV For “You and Me”

Singer/songwriter Lindsey Yung has released the MV for her song “You and Me”, a quaint acoustic pop track about love. It’s hard not to enjoy this soothing track, and the visuals are clean and adequately edited though falls just short of being completely memorable. Let’s hope this is the first step of many for the former Kollaboration Acoustic competitor – we’re certainly intrigued to see what’s to come from the artist.
