Lia Hide returns with stunning new single ‘Proposal’

Offering an exciting look at the upcoming album, the track is experimental and beautiful in equal measure.

Lia’s performance is full of vulnerability and honesty which emphasises the tracks haunting emotional quality.

Built around layers of echoing piano and warm synth bass under Lia’s reverb soaked, the track’s gradual progression: from it’s delicate opening, to the pulsing beat, to the intertwining guitar lines is breathtaking and instantly comparable to the likes of Kate Bush, Radiohead and Portishead.

Lia adds: Proposal was the very first song I wrote for the new album and made me focus my head on completing a fourth album.

It’s entitled “proposal” as I wanted to ‘propose’ to my band (Aki and George) that we start working on a new album, and also, I wanted this new sound, in my head, to become a reality. 

I first came up with the idea for this track back in 2019, before the Covid pandemic and quarantine, and before we embarked on our big (and last) European Tour in the Fall of 2019, I just had not figured out the lyrics of it, yet.

I keep replying ‘Ι do’ to various sentences I utter, especially from the second verse and on, and I felt like I, well, since no-one is going to put up with me, I will marry myself.. Mrs Jekyll, me being Mrs Hide.”

Having previously signed to EMI-Universal and worked with acclaimed producers including Grammy award winner Adam Ayan, the Athens based artist has established herself as one of the most exciting names on the Greek Art-Pop scene.

Now back with a three piece band and the upcoming album via Conch Town Records, Lia is once again demonstrating her prowess as a songwriter, vocalist and musician.
