”‘The Real You’ single is the representation of our forthcoming new album, says The HU’s Temka (tovshuur player, throat singer). “While we have traditional songs that have our signature rhythm in our third album, there are few upbeat, fast songs such as this single.

Listen to this song to express the feelings you have buried inside and feel the overwhelming energy we pass through to you. Enjoy!”

“The Real You” is asking listeners not to judge others but focus on themselves and therefore become a better person.
