Title track ‘Catwalk’ is a blues pop song that talks about people who want to be accepted by society so much that they do things that they don’t want to, and that eventually they “ drown in misery”. Written with Phum Viphurit, this track started off as a group jam session until the music structure was done, with the lyrics following after. The whole process was initially put on hold, as Phum Viphurit became unavailable during the writing process, and when they eventually picked it up again, ‘Catwalk’ took 3 days to put together, with the band calling it “the longest 3 days” of their lives.
Chalawan Sound is now available on all major streaming platforms. Catch H 3 F live in Singapore as they perform for AXEAN Festival on 28 & 29 Oct 2023!

Since then, they have added new members, released their debut album “Family Product,” and
gained international recognition when their single “How Can I” was added to Jungkook’s (a member of the BTS band) playlist, which helped them attract a global following of over 250k monthly listeners on Spotify.
