Montreal-based singer Shay Lia has released her new EP ‘SOLARIS’. Comprised of 5 songs in total, musically the vocalist fuses the sounds of reggae, pop, R&B and afrobeat. The record follows her debut album Dangerous which was released back in 2019. Musically bright and vibrant, the EP could be the soundtrack to the final bits of summer as we move into a colder season.

Touching on the EP, Shay Lia said:

“SOLARIS is a place you can go – a state of mind. It’s where the sun shines brightest. It is a place of joy, dancing, sensuality, confidence and warmth. I took my second project as another opportunity to explore and discover. I’m discovering myself while you’re discovering me! I’m trying new things, changing my approach and committing to my vision. I didn’t want to stay in the comfort zone I had created with my debut EP, Dangerous, which was made of R&B, soul and funk. With SOLARIS, I went for a blend of R&B, pop and afrobeat. I’m so grateful to the dope Haitian and Nigerian producers that worked with me on this – my songwriting process on this project was incredibly organic and freeing. To me, each song is special and has its own signature vibe. The tracks are all different from one another but they’re part of the same world; SOLARIS.”
