Music is a serious business these days – which makes those acts willing to have a bit of fun with it, to unreservedly embrace the camp and quirky, all the more refreshing. A song like ‘Doorway’, a tale of unrequited love, stuck waiting in some liminal space, always hovering over the precipice of proper commitment, could quite easily devolve into melodrama. However, Canadian alt-pop artist VISSIA…

Know More About Vissia And Her New Release.

I’m sure you’ve encountered it: you hear music you enjoy, either on the radio or in an advertisement. Then, a few days later, you hear the same music on the radio or in an advertisement once more. Soon after, you begin humming the melody and, if you’re not cautious, you’ll find yourself singing along. This is the effect that Vissia new release has. You can’t help but be lured in by “I Just Wanna…

Martin's had some new albums on repeat recently - read his reviews of projects from VISSIA, Jonathan Roy, The Strange Valentines, and The Hello Darlins.

It is already the end of June! Summer is officially here!  Can you believe that we are at the midway point of 2021 already?  Here at Team GDW, we just can’t seem to keep up with all of these new music releases, and looking at the albums found on my trusty blotter that were considered for review, I’m once again stunned how we’ve not yet found time or space for them.  So, what better time than the…

PREMIERE: VISSIA shares soul-stirring new single ‘The Cliffs’

Edmonton, Alberta artist VISSIA has unveiled her soulful new single ‘The Cliffs’ and you can listen to it here first on SMM before it drops tomorrow. The track is lifted from her forthcoming full length With Pleasure, out this Spring.

Drawing on indie, R&B, rock and soul, VISSIA has created an inspiring and reassuring track highlighting her blissful vocals and relatable lyrics. The instumental evokes images of being out on the road on a summer evening without a care in the world.

This is what VISSIA had to say about the song: “‘The Cliffs’ is based off of a piece of writing I created for a dear friend of mine. Although you can’t and shouldn’t tell people what to do, you can write them an unsolicited letter of encouragement and support. Then, when I was in the studio recording my new album in January of 2020, I decided to try and work it into a song.

“‘The Cliffs’ is about taking the leap and making life-changing decisions. We’ve all been there, wavering at the edge, between the comfort of familiar ground and the terrifying unknown below. Maybe it’s finally walking away from a relationship that hasn’t been nurturing either lover for many years. Maybe it’s leaving a job that has provided stability by conventional standards of living, but is not aligned with your heart and higher purpose. Maybe it’s finally enforcing a hard boundary between you and an unreliable family member or friend. I wanted ‘The Cliffs’ to fuse tough love with compassion. We are capable of so much more than we think. We just have to be willing to push through our fear of falling so we can find out what it feels like to truly fly.”
