Vancouver-based Chinese-Canadian pop artist TiANYU’s latest single ‘REALiTY’ is a masterful melding of alternative R&B and traditional pop sensibilities.
An internationally acclaimed concert pianist, actor and model, TiANYU’s creative artistry is put on full display with her latest musical offering, creating a reflective track that explores the constant strife for positivity.
As a concert pianist, TiANYU already has an extensive repertoire of live performances, having played hundreds of shows across Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East, at major venues such as Carnegie’s Weill Recital Hall, Jerusalem Music Centre, Barcelona Arts Centre, and CBC Glenn Gould Studio. Her modelling career has seen TiANYU work with the likes of MAC Cosmetics and Natasha Denona as well as appearing in international fashion magazines such as PAP Magazine, Israel Fashion Magazine, Lucy Magazine and Know Magazine.
Now stepping into the realm of pop music, with TiANYU developing her passion for music producing and songwriting during Covid, the singer-songwriter has already released three singles prior to her latest work.
‘REALiTY’ ruminates on the want of optimistic thinking, and the ability to find the silver lining in reality – distinguishing reality from personal anxieties and fear. Utilising her years as a pianist, TiANYU constructs a solemn soundscape bristling with gentle melodies, expansive percussion elements and arcane basslines that frame TiANYU’s vocal ability effortlessly.
Speaking on the track TiANYU says “The track is about trying to search for the light and direction when knowing that sometimes the reality sucks a little.”
TiANYU looks ahead to the future with her next single ‘What’s GOOD’ set for release on September 1st.
