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. 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".
In 2023, the group was invited to perform in Ho Chi Minh City as part of celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations and the 10th anniversary of the strategic partnership between Singapore and Vietnam, marking the group's first international performance.
In 2026, the group released a four-language rendition of "Home", a Singaporean song composed by Dick Lee. The rendition featured performances in English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil.
History
Background
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.
