Fresh off his notable contributions to the 1999 WRITE THE FUTURE music collective, Warren Hue unveiled his most intimate single, titled “SPLIT.” Released via 88rising along with an accompanying official music video, “SPLIT” sees the 21-year-old rising star delving into the intricacies of a cross-country relationship.

I wanted to create a song based on split lifestyles and how pressure and insecurity can take over your emotions. Trust is a big theme in the song, telling my significant other to believe in me and vice-versa.”
