And by amount, we really mean it all &#8211; the breadth of genres covered, the themes tackled, the instrumentation, the tempos&#8230; VISSIA doesn&#8217;t seem like the kind of artist to do things by half.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Highlights include the unapologetically feminist &#8216;My Wom&#8217;, the platonic love song &#8216;The Cliffs&#8217;, which is just <em>made<\/em> to be played in a top-down car on a journey towards&#8230; nowhere in particular. And of course, album closer &#8216;About Moving On&#8217; points in the direction of a truly one-of-a-kind popstar, the kind who isn&#8217;t afraid to stick a six minute song on a pop album, just so long as it&#8217;s an expertly crafted tale of love and loss. Which it is.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Throughout the album, the production is kept minimal and organic, leaving VISSIA&#8217;s strong vocals to really shine instead of being hidden in complex accompaniment. The result is an album which is brimming with authentic personality, reflecting VISSIA&#8217;s own bubbly and positive attitude towards life itself.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eoCr_Cl1VKg?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming from the frozen lands of Canada comes a new kind of popstar who&#8217;s ready to thaw out that winter chill.
