It’s that time of year again. Looking forward to the musical landscape of the next year and wondering who is going to shape it. This year, everything is slightly different – the world has been paused and plagued by worldwide trauma and disruption, and we may need a different kind of artist to show us that things can and will get better, if only we can keep being honest about our emotions.
We’re talking about Vissia, of course. She’s the underground alt pop star with a show stopper of a voice and a knack for storytelling who is about to make the big time. Hailing from Canada, Vissia has been hard at work over the pandemic to crack into the international audience, performing weekly live sessions and contributing exclusive material to her Patreon. Building a firm fanbase is so vital in these times of social media and Vissia has done so well to adapt to this weird new world, where so many other artists have fallen.
Latest single, ‘About Moving On’, is a song about heartbreak, in slow motion. Vissia’s imagination granted her the image of standing alone at a bar, when the person who just broke your heart walks in, and has turned it into a beautifully emotional song about the nonlinear nature of grieving and heartbreak.
There is much more coming from Vissia in the new year, including new music, so keep your eyes open for more.
