Hi again,

Last week, I mentioned that something new was in the works — and today, I'm excited to officially introduce Vibey Fuzzies! 🎶💌

Inspired by the classic idea of sending "warm fuzzies" to someone special, Vibey Fuzzies is a new segment where you can dedicate a song (and a short message if you like!) to someone who means a lot to you.

I’ve been wanting to add this community corner for a while now, and what better time to launch it than Mother’s Day weekend? To kick things off, I’m featuring heartwarming dedications from my music pals to the most important women in their lives, and I’ve curated a few Mother’s Day song specials to celebrate all the incredible motherly figures out there, too. 🌸

Of course, Vibey Fuzzies is open to everyone who wants to dedicate a special song to a special someone: a parent, a best friend, a partner, or even yourself. Share it proudly with your name or stay anonymous — either way, I’ve got you covered. I’m your personal music wingman. 😉

I can't wait to see (and hear!) all your wonderful dedications! ✨

With love,

Val ♫

In this week's setlist:

💞 Mama Does Know Best

No matter where life has taken you and your mom, there's no denying the wisdom and strength she’s gained along the way. Let these uplifting beats remind you that your mom is also her own woman, and it’s her first time on earth, too.

Here are some uplifting tracks to inspire you to appreciate your mom a little bit more:

👸 For the Queen of the House

There are plenty of ways to show your mom little acts of kindness on her special day – cook for her, help with chores, take her on a holiday getaway, or simply tell her you love her. However you spend it, make sure she feels seen and heard 💞

If you're a person of few words, perhaps these songs can help you express your appreciation for her even better:

💌 Vibey Fuzzies

You Are My Sunshine by Music Travel Love

“To Mom,

Thank you for always supporting me and encouraging me to do my best.”


– Alvin, USA

最浪漫的事 (The Most Romantic Thing) by 趙詠華 (Cyndi Chao)

“I chose to dedicate this song to my mom because it’s one of the first songs I recall my mom teaching me the lyrics to! She has a beautiful singing voice and this song reminds me of her a lot.

Even though it is a song about romantic love, when I was little I didn't understand it as that, but growing older I realised how meaningful and beautiful the lyrics are and how it carries into any relationship you treasure... as it speaks about the most romantic thing is being able to grow old with the one you love. Even when you are old and gray with no energy left to walk about, you still treat your loved one like they are precious.

I hope to have the privilege to watch my mom grow old as I grow up, and always remind her that I love her.”


– Fel, Singapore

The Best Day by Taylor Swift

“I love you so so much Mother 💖 Thank you for not only being my mother but also my friend that I can go too whenever I am in trouble. I am very grateful every single day to have you in my life and guide me throughout it. Even in arguments I still love you eternally! God bless you 💖”


– Jia, New Zealand

Here, There And Everywhere by The Beatles

“Thank you, Mama, for everything you’ve done for me — for your endless love, your strength, and your selflessness, the way you always put others before self. Thank you for the sacrifices you make, your guidance, and your kindness, all of which have shaped me to be the man I am today. I’m so grateful for all the moments, both big and small, that you’ve shared with me.

I love you more than words can express, and I’m thankful every day to call you my mom. As a young man, I make many mistakes. I hurt you through my words and actions and it can get very hard sometimes. But thank you for always being understanding, for forgiving me always and especially for loving me unconditionally. I hope I can one day take care of you and make you proud.”


– Jared, Singapore

🎶 New Music This Week

C’est La Vie by Isabel Dumaa: This song is such an easy listen! It’s melodic and mellow, with just the right sprinkle of "it is what it is" existentialism and a hint of reluctant optimism. Perfect for when you’re vibing through life’s chaos with a shrug and a smile 🤷🏻

Still Arriving by gavn!: The forest echoes in the wind in this track — it’s the sound of not quite being able to escape the past, still lost in your thoughts. Hang in there, friend 🫂
