Today Montreal musician Thanya Iyer dropped the music video for leave the room and face the waves.
The leading single is taken from the upcoming EP called Rest which comes out on August 24, 2022 via Topshelf Records.
A relaxing jazzy pop tune.
About the track:
It’s the first new music since her acclaimed 2020 full-length KIND, expanding on her expansive, experimental pop with a penchant for mantric songwriting and clever instrumentation.
Over a steady bassline, cheeky subdued percussion, and a guest wind trio, Iyer sings of sharing yourself, sharing your authenticity, and overcoming past fears. Originally written during a teaching artist residency in Witset, BC, Canada, Iyer asked the youth she was working with to engage with their own vulnerability by diving into songwriting with her.
Iyer herself was in a vulnerable position, in a new environment and teaching experience, making it a perfect opportunity to explore vulnerability together with the youth. The result is a concise alt-pop experiment adorned with jazzy flourishes with a powerful mantra at its center.
