For his first solo effort however, he&#8217;s returned to a song he started writing in high school but never completed. A ballad, &#8216;Fight For You&#8217;, has been brought to life with a music video, the story behind he explains,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cCherish every moment with your loved ones and don\u2019t wait for it to become a memory before you realise how valuable it was to you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Fight For You&#8217; examines the many different stages and struggles of modern romantic relationships, people becoming obsessed with their work-life and careers, leading to the neglect of those we should hold most dear.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The camera follows Kevin and his partner through their days and nights, watching Kevin&#8217;s work-life balance cause an obstacle in his connection with her, and consequently the breakdown of their relationship. He realises what he&#8217;s lost, and makes every effort to win her back. The video leaves the viewer with a &#8220;will they or won&#8217;t they&#8221; as to their reconciliation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Soft and gentle, and showcasing Kevin&#8217;s considerable musical talents (he&#8217;s also a gifted pianist), &#8216;Fight For You&#8217; might\u00a0be a pleasant surprise for those who were\u00a0expecting a more metal-tinged song.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find out more about Kevin Tiah online on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kevintiah\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kevintiahmusic\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/kevintiah\" target=\"_blank\">Soundcloud<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kevintiah\/\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>. &#8216;Fight For You&#8217; is available on <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/0s2ZitIAAE8dgdstW1o0ss?play=true&amp;utm_source=open.spotify.com&amp;utm_medium=open\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B01N2LR3L9\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/music\/album\/Kevin_Tiah_Fight_for_You?id=Bic5n5qeeqtnsjacd5lb6bdhkfq\" target=\"_blank\">Google Play<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/album\/fight-for-you-single\/id1179744222?app=itunes&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D4\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_62560\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ObVd8vw1Gm4?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Kevin Tiah - Fight For You [Official Video]\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/ObVd8vw1Gm4\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the surface, Australian artist Kevin Tiah looks like a diehard metalhead, but dig a little deeper and you&#8217;ll find he&#8217;s actually a very talented musician who has diversified into many different musical directions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":26825,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[9,640],"tags":[73,2485,199,9681,77,370,874,742,81],"class_list":["post-26789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-releases","category-videos","tag-australia","tag-ballad","tag-guitar","tag-kevin-tiah","tag-new-release","tag-new-single","tag-piano","tag-sydney","tag-video"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-6Y5","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":27638,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2017\/05\/kevin-tiah-bring-back-2005\/","url_meta":{"origin":26789,"position":0},"title":"Kevin Tiah &#8211; &#8216;Bring Back 2005&#8217;","author":"Lisa Hafey","date":"22\/05\/2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Earlier this year we featured Sydney artist, Kevin Tiah, and his track, 'Fight For You'.
