Approved: Gemini Aaliyah
completemusicupdate.comAfter a prolific three year run regularly releasing new music, it’s been almost a year since Gemini Aaliyah put out her last single.
But good news, she is back with new track ‘Moonrise’.With jerky drums and atmospheric guitar lines, she builds a tense mood upon which to place her lyrics.
Speaking about the track, she says: “My life through my eyes is like a fucked up fairy tale where the ghetto meets the goth girl.
This song feels like the beginning of that story”.“The lyrics of the song”, she goes on, “first describe my own death, like the death of parts of me I want to let go of – ‘I gave up gave in, now the ground is just feeding on my skin’”.“The song’s main purpose”, she adds, “is to talk about the empowering energy that comes with rebirth, like the moon rising, bringing light to darkness and a strong female energy – I think more strong feminine energy is what we need in the world”.With more new material on the way, you can catch Gemini Aaliyah live at the Drown U Out Festival in Leeds on 19 Feb.Listen to ‘Moonrise’ here:.
