New Recording 47 (abbreviated NR47) is a contemporary Singaporean a cappella group currently consisting of Amanda Ong, Sreshya Vishwanathan, Shaun Spencer, and Ethan Soh. Set apart by a combination of all five members' arrangement styles, they produce multilingual works of popular songs, oldies, local Singaporean music, as well as original material.[1] They have been featured on Singapore Airlines' Made In Singapore playlist, as well as the 94th Oscars' We Don't Talk About Bruno segment in 2022.

New Recording 47 has released one single to date, titled "What It Used To Be".[2][3]

Most recently, the group was invited to perform at the 50th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations and 10th Anniversary of Strategic Partnership between Singapore and Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City, marking their international debut.

History

[edit | edit source]

Background

[edit | edit source]

New Recording 47 began with Amanda Ong and Shaun Spencer, who are alumni of NP Voices A Cappella, as well as Lee Yee Kien, Raimi Rusydi, and Zach Teo, who are alumni of SP Vocal Talents. Amanda is also a part of the Voices of Singapore A Cappella (VOSA).

In 2018, they met up at a stairwell to sing together, and the first voice memo they recorded in May was labeled 'New Recording 47' on Raimi's Apple iPhone, hence the group name.

In 2021, Lee Yee Kien, Raimi Rusydi, and Zach Teo left the group and made way for three new members: Sreshya Vishwanathan, Sherwin Lam, and Ryan Han. Sreshya and Sherwin are alumni of NUS Resonance, while Ryan is an alumnus of SMU VOIX. In 2024, Sherwin and Ryan also left the group, making way for Ethan to come in in 2025.

Post-COVID

In 2021, they were featured on Shopee's 6.6[4] and 7.7[5] Great Shopee Sale on TikTok, covering both of the Shopee jingles. They also released their first single composed by Amanda Ong, titled "What It Used To Be".[6]

In 2022, "What It Used To Be" was featured on Singapore Airlines' Made In Singapore playlist, and one of their TikTok covers appeared in the 94th Oscar's We Don't Talk About Bruno segment.[7] They also performed at Esplanade's Voices - A Festival of Song 2022 in the second a cappella showcase,[8] where they first got Amit Kashyap on board as their sound engineer.

In 2023, they were invited to perform at the Saigon Opera House for the 50th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations and 10th Anniversary of Strategic Partnership between Singapore and Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City, the group's first international venture.[9][10] They also performed for Esplanade's Red Dot August on Singapore's National Day at the DBS Foundation Outdoor Theatre.[11]

In 2025, they returned to Esplanade's Red Dot August on Singapore's National Day again at the DBS Foundation Outdoor Theatre,[12] debuting their new song 'Way Too Fast', which is slated for release in 2026.
