Vita Lioni – Make-Out Sessions, vol. 1 [EP]

Vita Lioni, a Filipina-Canadian singer-songwriter from Vancouver, British Columbia, carries audiences away with a wonderfully blissful stack of cloud-woven R&B pieces on her EP Make-Out Sessions, vol. 1. Working alongside producer/composer Nicholas Antwi, this cozy-voiced soprano conjures up pictures of lovesome get-togethers under pastoral skies. Key moments on this 6-track triumph include  the dreamily wistful “Couldn’t Say No”, a zone-coasting night-drive anthem called “Illusion“, and an intimately lit feeling of pleasure called “Get By”. You can show your support by streaming the Make-Out Session, vol. 1 from your favorite online music service below as well as by checking out more from Vita Lioni when you connect with her online via the links listed.

“The title “Make-Out Sessions Vol. 1” was inspired by the adult novel series Icha Icha from perhaps my all-time favourite anime, Naruto. Icha Icha, which translates to “Make-Out”, has four volumes and is often seen in the hands of my beloved Kakashi Hatake as he occasionally giggles and blushes while reading. The books entail stories of love and romance and this EP is an ode to Jiraya Sensei’s body of work, or a parody if you will, to follow the 4th instalment – “Make-Out Tactics”.

Make-out music is my favourite kind, and each of the six songs display a different type. Some inspired by my own experiences, some inspired by anime. But most of them come from the imagination of the idealistic and fantastical, hopeless romantic that is I. I want people to listen to this and just feel…to see what mind-games, passion, longing, and some good ol’ fashion love looks like through my eyes.

If I were ever to experience a break-up, I pictured that “Couldn’t Say No” would be my theme. Like the colours of the sunset, vivid and evocative, so were my feelings when I wrote this. It’s dim, but pleasantly so as it brings to life the struggle of letting go – of history, memories, familiarity, and all the imprints left on one’s heart by love. But what makes this my ideal break-up song is the make-up part. There was an upturn to the story right from the start because I wanted love to prevail; and for a hopeless romantic, it always will.” – Vita Lioni
