Hailing from California, Lisa Danaë has consistently showcased her vocal prowess and unfiltered storytelling. In early Spring, this Filipina-American Dark Pop Princess gave us the first single off of her forthcoming EP set to release in 2024 called “i’m not sure what to do”. She was then recently honored with a Song of the Year nomination for “i’m not sure what to do” at The Wavy Awards, and is set to unleash the continuation of this project with the second single, "Kill The Killer," on September 22, 2023.
Lisa's music is more than just entertainment; it's a channel for self-expression and empowerment. "Kill The Killer" is no exception. The song is deeply inspired by a vivid dream Danaë had in 2021. The dream portrayed someone attempting to kill her, which sparked her exploration of its symbolic meaning and how it related to her waking life. Collaborating with songwriter, a girl named jaen (Hulu, NBC, CBS, Showtime), she transformed the dream's intricate details into a surreal, cinematic narrative that sets the stage for a compelling musical journey. "Kill The Killer" takes listeners through scenes and emotions that gradually reveal a profound truth. Lisa discovers that the killer in her dream represents her own inner imposter syndrome and the dark voice that has haunted her. This revelation mirrors her real-life journey of dealing with losses – the passing of family members and the fall of toxic friendships – and overcoming the ensuing imposter syndrome while navigating her music career. It encapsulates the depression stage of grief and its haunting production by Pete Cho (Drug Cosmetics, JESSA, Demi Ramos), promises a unique blend of dark pop, cinematic elements, and alt-pop vibes that will captivate listeners with its otherworldly auditory experience.
With this release, Lisa continues her mission of ensuring her audience they are not alone in their battles and connecting deeply with her rapidly growing fanbase, affectionately named Danaetion. “Kill The Killer” is available to pre-save on Spotify and Apple Music.
