Music is powerful. It has the ability to transport us to a place or time rooted in our memory even our imagination. Able to trigger underlying emotions, even for a second, music can bring all parts of ourselves out of the shadows. Sometimes those parts of ourselves we keep tucked away need a little love and little light, as Qrion shares candidly on her new track “Lean Into Light” featuring pinkpirate.
Through the glistening synth work and melancholic chord work one can easily feel the emotion that went into the cultivation of this tune. The deep-seated bass carries with it the weight of a troubled time, while the natural progression of the production steadily lifts listeners to a place catharsis and growth.
Qrion gives us a glimpse into her creative process sharing:
“When I worked on Lean Into Light, I was in a sad place. The pluck sounds in the song were inspired by the rain, reflecting how I felt like I was in a dark tunnel, struggling to find my way out. I wrestled with feelings of regret about my life, searching for excuses to make myself feel better. But eventually, I saw the light coming toward me, guiding me to realize that it’s okay to make mistakes. Those years weren’t something to regret; they were a learning experience. I didn’t share much of this with Pink, but she understood the vibe perfectly when we were in the studio. Her delicate voice perfectly matched the song, and she truly brought it to life. I especially love how she wrote “Memory Stays” – it captured the essence of the track so beautifully.”
This tune comes as the latest single from Qrion’s upcoming album, We Are Always Under The Same Sky. The album is due out on January 17 so this just might be the last taste we here before the full release. Stream Qrion’s new track, “Lean Into Light” below and enjoy!
