Toronto's Hannah Bussiere, the Korean-Canadian multi-instrumentalist crafting celestial dream-pop soundscapes as Luna Li, has finally shared the details surrounding her highly anticipated debut album — as well as new single "Silver into Rain," which features bedroom pop provocateur beabadoobee.
One of Exclaim!'s Most Anticipated Canadian Albums of 2022, Duality lands March 4 via AWAL/In Real Life. Its 13 tracks include previously released singles "Cherry Pit," "Afterglow," "Alone But Not Lonely" and "Flower (In Full Bloom)" alongside additional guest appearances from Jay Som and Dreamer Isioma.
"Hannah and I were speaking online and talked about working together on a track," beabadoobee told Consequence of "Silver into Rain." "She came to me with a few ideas and 'Silver into Rain' really stuck out. I worked on a section with my guitarist in the studio and love how it's come out. She's a very talented player! I can't wait for people to hear it."
Co-directed by angelicamílash and Maya Balkaran, the video for the collaborative single encapsulates the loneliness of the pandemic isolation that skyrocketed Bussiere's career to new heights when her harp jam videos went viral.
Despite the gloomy weather and self-deprecating lyrics like "I'm too young for my age / too shy for the stage," the song's lush palette transports to somewhere otherworldly as the synergistic duo play off of each other — especially when the hook explodes into the bridge with a distorted guitar crescendo.
