Song Review/ Singer-Songwriter : Lilia Asha’s ‘Gaslighted’
Lilia Asha is an old soul, a singer-songwriter who draws from a deep artistic well. The artist seems to have an uncanny ability to carry herself and her experiences into her soundscapes, building worlds out of them. As you listen to her music, the listener can feel the pulse of her being, and the raw moments of her humanity.
Her latest release is ‘Gaslighted’, a track that explores the theme as it manifests in love. With a twist of dark poetry and a melodramatic atmosphere, the song is shrouded in heartache. The neoclassicals in the background play a role of intensifying this mood. It’s solemn and still but deep and full of secrets like an old lake. It’s folklore at its most vivid and affecting. If you enjoy artists like Fiona Apple, Amy Winehouse, and Joni Mitchell, you’re sure to love the confessional and tortured sphere of this track.
