about

The album’s coming-of-age title track, which Substream Magazine called “the perfect antidote for whatever ails you today,” spotlights the glimmering combination of Cheung’s tranquil and consoling vocals and refined engineering of the record. 'The Departure' thrives on a remarkable attention to detail at the hands of a meticulously selected production team. Produced (and featuring the guitar work of) NPR’s “next great jazz guitarist” Nir Felder, mixed by The Shins’ Yuuki Matthews and mastered by Grammy Award-Winning Chris Gehringer (Katy Perry, Rihanna) the record creates an undeniably atmospheric environment for the listener.
