After  yeule placed 18th in the prior edition, Mediacorp have confirmed their intention to participate in the upcoming edition.

It's Sarah Kinsley for Singapore

Born in the year 2000 in Mountain View, California, but raised in Connecticut and Singapore,  Sarah Kinsley is a New York City based is a Singapore based singer/songwriter. Growing up, she lived a pretty normal life, but when she moved to Singapore in middle school, she performed in her first show at a cafe in the city-state. She eventually spent five years of her life in Singapore. After she learned of a 2018 report by the University of Southern California that found 2% of producers identify as female, Kinsley wanted to challenge the statistic through producing all of her own music. Kinsley studied music theory at Columbia University, and as part of her assignments, she was expected to produce and record songs, which she also released publicly. She revealed that after she submitted her 2021 single "Over + Under" for an assignment, she received a good grade in that class. Additionally, she was a member of Nonsequitur A Cappella. While studying at Columbia, Kinsley often experienced male classmates speaking over her and found it to be a male-geared environment. She explained that the music industry needs to "recognise and amplify female producers" such as herself. Kinsley is mainly an alt pop singer, who has been inspired by classical music throughout her music as a result of studying it in her youth, specifically naming Chopin, Clara Schumann, Beethoven, Debussy and Ravel. She has cited New Zealand singer Lorde as a heavy inspiration for music, specifically noting the effect that her 2017 album Melodrama had on her music. She explained that she wants to create "juicy, sweet, daring, open, intimate, full songs that have no bounds" in the way that Lorde did on Melodrama. Fleetwood Mac, ABBA, Sting, the Eagles, Foreigner and Madonna have also been an inspiration for her. All of their music is up to be sent, you'll just have to wait to see which ones
