Rhian&#8217;s vocals are rich yet ethereal, and the track, despite its brevity, is nonetheless anthemic as the artist asks those questions that remain after the end of a loving relationship, illustrating the vulnerability experienced, especially if you weren&#8217;t prepared for it to be over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;Why?&#8217;, produced by SB90, is accompanied by a stunning music video, created by District Down Under, which you can watch below.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_97666\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XB8D8NwxmuM?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Rhian Aoun - Why?

With her mellifluous voice, she captures those experiences and transforms them lyrically, back them with mystical instrumentals. Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, she started performing on stage at the age of 6, singing and playing piano for a transfixed audience, and from there she honed her love for music throughout her school years, before releasing her debut single, &#8216;Quiet&#8217;, in 2020, a school project inspired by the musical style of Billie Eilish. From there, she gained further attention as one of the five finalists on a reality competition hosted by Australian pop artists The Veronicas, alongside Samsung Galaxy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;Why?&#8217; is out now, and is available to stream and download <a href=\"https:\/\/ditto.fm\/why-rhian-aoun\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can find out more about Rhian Aoun and her music online via her <a href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/rhianaoun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Linktree<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Why?&#8217;, the lead single from singer-songwriter Rhian Aoun&#8217;s upcoming album, is a poignant and thought provoking track that serves as a fabulous introduction to this artist&#8217;s beautiful voice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":89606,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"'Why?', the lead single from singer-songwriter Rhian Aoun's upcoming album, is a poignant and thought provoking track that serves as a fabulous introduction to this artist's beautiful voice.","jetpack_seo_html_title":"Singer-Songwriter\u00a0Rhian\u00a0Aoun\u00a0Asks 'Why?'
