Heartbreak and grief are reflected in the minimal synth of ‘About Moving On’

Vissia is an up and coming alt-pop musician from the frozen lands of Canada, with a glacial voice to match. Her latest release is the exquisite ‘About Moving On’, which deals with the non-linear impact of grief and how it can impact you when you least expect it.

Beginning with a drawn out synth intro, Vissia’s vocals eventually come in, painting a scene in a near-cinematic way. You’re at a bar, you’re minding your own business. Then, without warning, the person who shattered your heart walks in. You’re floored.

‘About Moving On’ is out now.
