Montreal-based singer/songwriter Lia Kuri, best known as the vocalist for Afternoon Bike Ride, has just released the visualizer for her latest single, Cyclone. This track is a powerful introduction to her upcoming solo album, Motherland, which is slated for release on October 25, 2024, via Friends of Friends Music.
Cyclone blends a bumping electro-pop beat with deeply introspective lyrics, creating a track that is as danceable as it is thought-provoking. The song’s serious message, wrapped in infectious rhythms, hints at the thematic depth we can expect from Motherland. With this single, Lia Kuri continues to push the boundaries of her sound, setting the stage for what promises to be a compelling album.
About the track by Lia:
“Cyclone is a song that I channeled a lot of anger into.
Mother Earth is calling out humans’ entitlement to her body here.
I feel like the female form has been ogled over, visually exploited, physically exploited, it’s an angry ode to this incessant taking from a woman’s body, or rather, incessant giving that’s expected from women.
When you’re the source of someone’s life, it’s a lot of giving and sometimes you have to give up on giving in order to protect yourself.
When the person you love is the cause of your destruction or the taker of your peace, you can either let them consume you or break free.
I’ve changed the way I approach relationships in my life over the last couple of years as I’ve realized what my needs are and how to protect my peace.
If Mother Earth could speak, I imagine she would relate.”
