VI UNEARTHS NEW ERA WITH THE RELEASE OF DEBUT ALBUM AFTERLIFE

Captivating yet haunting, Canadian alt-pop artist Vi continues to stun listeners with the release of her highly anticipated debut album Afterlife, available for streaming everywhere today.

The eight track collection is a rebirth of who Vi is as an artist and a marker of the next era of this promising musician's sound. Afterlife gives light to the fact that Vi is evolving out of a darker period in her life. This project serves as a massive “f*ck you" to those in her past, and the album showcases this reflective time and newfound attitude towards life.

“Afterlife represents 'life after death'; It is a metaphor for the 'rebirth' of my next chapter," Vi shares. "I often sing about heartbreak and hardships, and I want to show others that there is so much more to life once you get through all of the darkness.“

Afterlife follows the release of her newest single “Dead To You” which showcased an edgier side to Vi’s evolving sound. Gaining incredible support from both playlists and tastemaker press, the song reflects on moving forward from that toxic ex, to the point where they are completely dead to you. The track is accompanied by familiar favourites "Victim," "Sleep Through," and "Getting Even" in addition to three brand new songs on the album. "Dead To You" fans will be enamoured by the special acoustic recording that closes out the record.

Vi spent her early childhood in Qatar and began crafting moody music from her bedroom after moving back to Ottawa in her early teenage years. Drawing her inspiration from heartbreak and hardships, her vulnerable lyrics are known to resonate deeply with others. Along with her dark melodies and intricate beats, the story-telling found in her lyrics is guaranteed to draw you in. Due to her unique sound, many say she is like no other.
