Edmontonian singer-songwriter Billie Zizi is releasing a new song from her dynamic and vulnerable new LP, Levitate (October 25th). 

“Neon Dream” begins as an innocent sounding lovelorn folk song before the track’s guitars build into an assertive storm of emotion.

I wrote this tune as a bridge for another song but my co-producer, Austin Parachoniak, said that we should make it into its own song and I’m so happy he did. We recorded with no click and it kind of has a rawness and off-the-cuff emotional abandon that I really like. It’s my favourite tune on the record for that reason.

I love the simplicity of a single repeating refrain and Austin’s solo is exactly the type of thing I’d love to hear at a late night festival set. The tune is about the spectre of loss that we all have and the ghost of love that lives in the dreamscape of the mind. – Billie Zizi
