Tiana Xiao - Imagine
Pop, Electronic, R&B
Hong Kong
Overall Impression: Tiana Xiao's clarion vocals soar over a three-dimensional bed of crisp hats, bright synth and gently wobbling bass in her original Pop/Future Bass track, Imagine! Encouraging and hopeful, Xiao's aspirational lyrics coalesce with powerful production elements to deliver a passionate Pop crossover, syncing heartfelt vocal deliveries with high-gravity beat drops to make Imagine an unparalleled listening experience!
Strongest Point(s): Tiana Xiao's voice is sublime as it floats above the surface of the sound, evoking a celestial presence that's only bolstered by the massive bass wobbles in the song's central moments. Perfectly good as a straight-up Pop track, the inclusion of Future Bass elements drives this sound into another plane of artistry - providing a fully cathartic instrumental counterpoint to the ethereal vocals that carry throughout. All of this in combination with delightfully positive and emotionally encouraging lyrics serve to make this a wonderfully memorable listening experience!
Target Audience Appeal: Fans of modern Pop sounds, the progression of EDM, and ambitious crossover sounds will fully appreciate the sound and style of Tiana Xiao's Imagine! With instrumental elements that stand to appease even the most devout Future Bass listeners and a vocal delivery that fits well within the realm of dramatically impactful and emotionally salient contemporary Pop, Imagine has a sound that deserves attention - and a message worth spreading!
Artist target suggestions: Télépopmusik, Angela McCluskey, Ariana Grande, Massive Attack, Alpines, Garbage, Selena Gomez, Sophie Barker, Yonexx, CRÈME, San Holo, Sofie Winterson, Ashley Tisdale, Veronica Bravo
