TIZIANA – Lille (2022)

Through her single ‘Lille’, TIZIANA takes a melancholic look at turning a page to start a new chapter in life. Touching on the end of a true love story, the intimate, sensual and dark single has you finding refuge in its sound. While there is a potential for great sadness in the music, the track has been masterfully crafted to tap into melancholy over what has been lost, without falling into a well of sadness.

The beauty of the single and the emotional forward movement are woven into the core of the track and taken to new heights by the vocals. From an early age, TIZIANA has been surrounded by music and was encouraged by her family to pursue her musical studies. With this encouragement, she recorded cover songs which gained the attention of label (R)esisto Distribuione and laid the foundations for her multilingual new releases.



The plucked and echoing beats that open ‘Lille’ grab your attention with their movement. There is a touch of melancholy woven into their movement that reaches out into the ether of the soundscape. This expansive feeling seems to rebound through the melody as it reaches out, only to boomerang back into an intimate feeling. As the melody heads into the chorus, there is a rise of sound that lifts the melancholy of the beats for a slightly more hopeful movement. It is a stunning combination of electronic and organic tones that have been lovingly crafted into a stunning movement. The sadness of the electronic notes gives way to the more sensual and light dance of the organic instrumentation. As the single progresses, each element of the melody comes together for a beautiful dance of sound that wraps around your senses. You can easily find a place of refuge within the music, as you first hide from the sadness, only to find a place to relax and bask in the light that comes later.

Against the richness of the melody, TIZIANA’s vocals are like a hazy mist that gently glides across your skin. While her performance is in French, there is something in her performance that transcends language barriers. Through the verses, her almost whispered performance holds a hand out to you to let you know that you are not alone in what you are feeling. This lessens the potential sadness of the track, before rising on the chorus. As the chorus hits, her performance dances with a lightness that makes you think of the sun breaking through dark clouds and offering a warmth after the cold of grey sadness.

Through the stunningly intimate, yet expansive, flows of ‘Lille’, TIZIANA offers a place of refuge where you can emotionally move from sadness to something brighter. The melody reaches out with an expansive feeling, only to come back for an intimate touch. Through the French vocals, TIZIANA offers a hand to listeners that helps you move forward from the darkness and sadness.
