In their latest single, “i lie,” the dynamic duo pleaselevitate, comprising vocalist Yulia and producer Chinmay (A3ON), gets emotional and atmospheric in concealed emotions and internal struggles. Released this Feb 16, the song gets real about hiding true emotions behind a facade of strength, exploring themes of deception, yearning, and internal conflict.
From the outset, “i lie” captivates with its pulsating beats and atmospheric soundscape. The thumping rhythms ground the song, providing a solid foundation for the emotional narrative to unfold. As the music in the euphoric enchantment, it creates an inundating hollow that envelops us in its haunting embrace.
At the heart of “i lie” lies Yulia’s ethereal and reverbed vocals, which drive the song’s emotional resonance. Her delicate and silky voice, powerful in its assertion, soars above the instrumentation, conveying palpable vulnerability and longing. In the poignant chorus, she sings of her struggle to be unable to express herself, declaring, “Every time I feel like I should die, but don’t believe me ’cause I lie.” Her soaring vocals and surging emotions give the song’s narrative much prominence.
Throughout “i lie,” pleaselevitate showcases their mastery of atmosphere and mood, pulling us in their dark world of emotional intensity. The song’s production, helmed by Chinmay (A3ON), blends dark indie pop with electronic textures to create a sonic landscape that is both captivating and evocative.
As an artist duo, pleaselevitate made waves with their debut single, “In the Dark,” released in November 2023. With “i lie,” they push boundaries with even darker concepts.
