HALIENE Makes Ophelia Solo Debut With “Memory Of You”
Becoming quite the familiar faces in the world of electronic dance music over the year making her presence felt frequently in the worlds of trance and melodic dubstep, HALIENE has officially made her solo debut on Seven Lion‘s Ophelia Records with “Memory Of You.”
Showcasing her undeniable vocal prowess possess once again, her newest offering is an emotionally charged melodic bass beauty that is primed to be an immediate fan favorite among the Ophelia community.
“Memory Of You came about very differently than most of my songs. During the COVID lockdowns, I woke up in the middle of the night with the phrase “the memory of you, loves me better than you do.” I had a planned zoom session with Annika Wells (of Nightlight, Sad Songs, Crawl Out of Love, etc. by Illenium) a few days later and thought it would be the perfect concept to explore with her as songwriters. I’m a huge fan of her writing and artistry and this was actually our first time working together. Typically, I am the primary driver of my lyrics and songwriting, and I don’t bring in other writers besides my husband Matt, as I find it can dilute the depth I personally pour into my songs. Memory of You was a rare case that a co-write worked really well! Just like producer-artists collaborate on production and sound design, Annika and I shared lyrical influence and melodic emotions together,” HALIENE explains.
“The song explores the juxtaposition of a nostalgic picture of a fading relationship with the chilling reality of waking up to its failure. How does one let go of something that your heart wants to hold onto? Sometimes, the memory of it all lives more deeply in the mind than the reality of what it actually was. That fact, once realized, becomes a powerful and positive means of liberation. We can make the intentional choice to frame our memories of the person in love and not hurt, even when there’s not much that’s genuine to hold onto. It expresses a profound way of releasing and meaningfully crystallizing, even a painful past in love to move on and let go. ”
She continues, “I’m so proud of how this song captures this concept, and how Matt and I were able to bring it to life in the sounds and elements of the track. We wanted to preserve the tender emotions of the song sonically, yet frame it in a more pop-friendly structure against melodic bass drums and synths. We are so excited to share this heartfelt creation as my solo debut on Ophelia Records. Seven Lions has had an important influence on my career and I’ve shared a lot of big collabs on his label. “I’m thrilled to finally join the family with my own song there and can’t wait to announce even more exciting things we have planned together.”
