about

Sydney based singer songwriter Liyah Knight today releases a brand new single off her upcoming TRAVELLERS GUIDE, ‘Threads’, out now through The Orchard. Liyah wrote ‘Threads’ with Australian producer, Tasker, with the visualiser coming next week.

Liyah explains, “I wrote ‘Threads’ about a situation I was in at the time, where a lack of communication left me feeling frustrated and let down. I feel that this is something that many of us can relate to and have felt before. Sonically, the track takes many twists and turns, and I feel the sound sums up how I was feeling at the time. Tasker was a vital part of bringing these emotions to light and channelling them into the song.”

Accompanying the release of ‘Threads’ is ‘Threads: The Feels Edit’. “Behind the piercing synths and heavy drums,” Liyah continues, “’Threads’ is a song that tackles really delicate emotions. The Feels Edit strips everything back and allows the emotion in my voice to carry the story”.

‘Threads’, which will feature on her upcoming TRAVELLERS GUIDE due later this year, follows on from her amazing single, ‘Moon Baby’, released as the introduction story to the body of work. The 2020 EP release, NESTING, received plenty of love across the board from DSPs, triple j unearthed and community radio and featured ‘Tipsy’. Fusing a multiple of genres to create a unique listening experience, tracks from the project have been streamed over 1 million times and led to Liyah being named in lists of 2021 artists to watch by triple j unearthed and Coup De Main.

With the NESTING journey now come to an end, it’s time for Liyah to remove the layers and explore the journey of being open to the unfamiliar with TRAVELLERS GUIDE. The body of work’s narrative is loosely based on Kelley and Conner’s Emotional Cycle of Change. Upon changes, researchers found a predictable cycle of emotions to occur. This is a journey of being the traveller and the guide simultaneously. Through exploration, we find new sides to ourselves. With the release of ‘Threads’, the song explores this part of the emotional cycle by the idea that cracks are showing, reality is kicking it. This is frustrating and confusing because you find yourself tangled between your dreams and reality.

Born in Sydney, Australia to an Australian-Italian mother and Nigerian father, Liyah has been writing music for a little over three years. In her own words, Liyah explains “So, I’ve opened up, I’ve removed the layers, and I’ve let somebody in. Now what? Following my debut EP NESTING, TRAVELLERS GUIDE explores the journey of being open to the unfamiliar; Once we strip back our layers, we are ultimately allowing ourselves to be vulnerable and to be open to new experiences. In this instance, that new experience is love. Love is exciting, love is multidimensional, and love is enlightening.

“Sonically and visually this project takes the shape of a long hike on an unfamiliar path eventually leading to the ocean; The most powerful and calming force of nature.”

From collaborating with Peking Duk on ABC TV’s The Set, to support shows with the likes of Budjerah, May-A and Milan Ring, and with an upcoming performance at Festival of the Sun festival, Liyah is a real artists’ artist with her star on the ascent. TRAVELLERS GUIDE sees Liyah teaming up with the likes of Diesel, Tasker, IAMMXO, Garret Kato and Penny Pariah, NZ Producer Haz, Korky Buchek and Cyrus to explore a journey that opens with naivety and vulnerability, passes through different perspectives before arriving at a deeper understanding of the self.
