Djiboutian-French, Montreal-based songstress, Shay Lia has arrived with her newest record ‘Love Me Love Me Not’.
Lifted from her forthcoming EP, ‘Love Me Love Me Not’ delivers a shimmering confluence of pop and afrobeat influences resulting in warm and enchanting effort. Using the whimsical act of picking petals from a flower throughout, Lia depicts nostalgic memories of the exciting uncertainties of a finding a new lover.
Speaking on the single, Shay Lia said: “If this song had a scent, it would be coconut oil mixed with vanilla. I wanted it to feel intimate and soft. I was definitely exploratory with this song – I wanted my listeners to feel how sensuality, pleasure and melancholy can blend into the same song and share the experience of being friend zoned from a woman’s perspective. It happens to us too and we should not be afraid to share how it can make us feel! It can be empowering to be vulnerable.”
