Kai Azana‘s “Lie To Me,” cooked up alongside Colin Coppola, doesn’t sugarcoat things – it dives headlong into the messiness of deceit in love. Azana’s voice, raspy and real, talks about the pain of being lied to and the strange comfort that comes with forcing yourself to believe the lie. “Lie to me / Tell me I’m the only one,” she sings, and you can feel the hurt in every word.
Opening with a blend of gothic strings and a resonant 808, the song sets a somber mood. Kai‘s singing, soft but with a raspy edge, typifies a soul torn between bitter reality and the sweet venom of lies. “Lie to me, lie to me, lie to me/ ’cause you lie so sweet,” she pleads, her voice a medium for emotions that are both personal and shared. Towards the end, guitarist Harry Simmons cuts through the melancholy with a fiery solo, adding a dynamic twist that cranks up the emotions.
Despite the somber themes, “Lie To Me” is not without its moments of defiant energy. She’s got this way of singing that’s both soft and powerful, making you feel every bit of the heartbreak she’s singing about. The way she blends her voice with the music – it’s like they’re two parts of the same story, both talking about the pain of love gone wrong.
“Lie To Me” is a straight-up, unfiltered story of heartache and the lies we tell ourselves. It’s about facing the truth, even when it hurts. Kai Azana‘s got a way of making you feel what she’s feeling, and this track is a perfect example of her talent.
