The song is cinematic and breezy, with dramatic builds and a synth bassline that is funky and carefree. \u201cI want everyone who listens to my music to feel seen and have fun!&#8221; Geier said via press release. \u201cI\u2019m thrilled to share <em>Hotline<\/em> with the world and hope it makes you feel hot.\u201d <em>Hotline<\/em> is a song built for dance floors and not taking yourself too seriously \u2014 the perfect way to enter the sunny season. <em>\u2014 Holly Gordon<\/em>  <\/p>\n<h2><strong>If I am me, then who are you?, Piao\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><em><strong>WATCH | The official music video for If I am me, then who are you?:<\/strong><\/em><span><span class=\"youtube\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"PIAO - if i am me, then who are you?

So many factors can distort one&#8217;s own self-image, and that&#8217;s a feeling that Piao tries to unpack on her latest single, <em>If I am me, then who are you?<\/em>. &#8220;Who do I, who do I see\/ I don&#8217;t know what to believe,&#8221; she sings in a triplet cadence over a bass-heavy industrial pop soundscape. Piao&#8217;s airy vocals against the dissonant beats further illustrate that sense of disorientation, but ultimately marry everything together in a way that&#8217;s audacious and beautiful. Piao has explored various sounds as an artist, from pop-punk to piano balladry, but <em>If I am me, then who are you?<\/em> signifies an exciting new direction that we can&#8217;t wait to hear more of. <em>\u2014 Melody Lau\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Technicolour, Jia<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><em><strong>WATCH | The official music video for Technicolour:<\/strong><\/em><span><span class=\"youtube\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Technicolour - Music Video\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BP4duVfAQvQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Jia, a.k.a. Jia Lee, is an indie-pop singer-songwriter from Vancouver whose dreamy, ethereal songs evoke the sultry haze of Lana Del Rey.

The track acts as a survivor&#8217;s anthem, telling the story of someone reclaiming themselves after the realities of manipulation and abuse. Writing from real-life experience was important to the Toronto-based singer, but so were the sonic choices. She opted for production that feels close to pop and R&amp;B to create something that is ultimately empowering, while maintaining the glitchy, dark synths that act as a throughline to most of her work. <em>Angels Weep at Night <\/em>is a clear look into the talent and range that will be displayed on her debut album, <em>Goddess From the Machine<\/em>, which is set for release on May 8. <em>\u2014 Bhaven Moorthy<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.cbc.ca \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen to this article Estimated 4 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.
