Singaporean singer-songwriter shazza emerges stronger and bolder with her highly anticipated sophomore album, HAPPY, WRETCHED & TERRIFIED — a raw and fearless exploration of coming-of-age, heartbreak, and healing. Releasing on Friday, 18 July 2025 across all digital platforms, the album captures the chaos, contradictions, and catharsis of young adulthood. 

Describing the project as a “coming-of-age in real time,” shazza traces the jagged path of her 20s — a period marked by transformation, uncertainty, and growth. Through aching ballads and bold,

genre-blurring anthems, she confronts themes of heartbreak, self-worth, anger, desire, and the messy beauty of choosing change, even when it hurts. The 9-track album features recently released singles “Perfume”, the stunning ballad, “MEDIEVAL” and “Olivia Dean”, the sprightly pop track featuring fellow Singaporean creative Benjamin Kheng. 

Since her debut album chapter one in 2023, shazza’s meteoric rise has been nothing short of remarkable — from appearing on a Times Square billboard, receiving a personal shoutout from Coldplay’s Chris Martin, sharing the stage with The Click Five, representing Singapore at the Osaka World Expo 2025, to being named in Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2025. Despite these milestones, she reserves her most vulnerable reflections for her music. This new album reveals a depth and honesty that captures the fear, hope, and excitement of forging one’s path.

The album’s title, extracted from the lyrics of the powerful final track, encapsulates its emotional core: the paradox of feeling happy, wretched, and terrified — often all at once. It paints a picture of the tension of growing into adulthood, where transformation is constant, and emotions rarely arrive in neat, manageable pieces. 

For shazza, creating the album went beyond an artistic endeavor, it also served as a musical diary of her personal evolution. “It taught me how to embrace change, how to let go,” she reflected, “and most of all, that I need the music as much as it needs me.” As she navigates her 20s, the music became both a mirror and a lifeline: “Regardless of how this all goes and what’s to come, I am profoundly proud of this album, and I always will be.” 

The album reignites shazza’s sonic soundscape that draws from her inner struggles while embracing a new era of her artistry. From soaring anthems to intimate confessions, HAPPY, WRETCHED & TERRIFIED offers no easy resolutions — only emotional honesty with all its

contradictions. It’s an album for anyone learning to live with the chaos, to laugh in the wreckage, and to love through the uncertainty.
