Gia Valentine is making waves and taking her place as a force to be reckoned with in the music scene as she releases her fiery new single, "EMPRESS." It represents a massive change in Valentine's budding sound, filled with powerful energy, sultry vibes, and profound confidence. With EMPRESS, Gia isn't just dropping a song but challenging you to enter her sonic ingenuity and empowerment world.
"EMPRESS" seizes you by the ear and doesn't let go. A mixture of R&B, rock, and ethereal sensibilities, the song immediately announces its intent Valentine is here to dictate her terms. Valentine is the sound of "EMPRESS" sultry licks, growling basslines, and galvanized rhythms; she certainly is, but also one who isn't afraid to make space in the industry where it feels like it needs to be made.
"EMPRESS" pulls from the legacies of some all-time greats in R&B and rock. You can hear shades of Janet Jackson's sexuality, Tina Turner's relentless energy, Beyoncé's unrelenting femininity, and the experimental creaks of Frank Ocean and Deftones. However, although these artists might have influenced Valentine's musical world, "EMPRESS" is undeniably hers. You feel she took the best parts of these legends, poured in her creative ideas, and developed a timeless yet new listening experience.
Thematically, "EMPRESS" is a tribute to power and sensuality. Valentine's lyrics reflect the confidence of someone who understands what they bring to the table and how to flaunt it. The song is dripping with confidence, with Valentine playing the role of a modern-day leader. In her world, she's not merely a queen. She's the "EMPRESS," demanding attention with each note and every word. "EMPRESS" channels the untamed side of cat energy graceful, lethal, and undisputedly independent. Still, it also ruminates on the power of excellence and the greatness one can achieve by being authentic.
Gia Valentine isn't only bending musical boundaries with the project "EMPRESS," she's also giving a peek into a new chapter for her as a musician. It's an almost fearless exploration of sound, flirtations that feel practically experimental but always with an unmistakable sense of purpose. Valentine's taking risks and isn't afraid to explore uncharted territories, sonically or otherwise.
