Duality - Luna Li
Luna Li brings a fresh take to alternative music with Duality. The Toronto artist creates atmospheric tracks that draw you into the universes your ears never knew they could envision. On songs such as Cherry Pit, Luna incorporates an incredible guitar solo after a mesmerizing hook and verse combination up until it’s halfway point. Luna’s voice is soothing yet her message is strong.
“You said you’d be my trust, but you didn’t even bother.” ; “And you planted all these roots, just to sit and watch them wither.” she sings on Flower, featuring Dreamer Isioma (with a lovely verse of their own). Luna is a beautiful vocalist and an even better songwriter, and Duality has proved that to us thirteen times over!
