Olivia Rodrigo - u + me = 〈3 by Shirley Yang

u + me = <3 may sound simple at first—the melody is smooth, lively, and irresistibly adorable. 🩷 But underneath that simple melody are multiple layers of band-style groove, which made this arrangement much more challenging than expected.

I spent a lot of time figuring out how to bring those layers together naturally on one piano while keeping the original song’s playful energy.
