At a pivotal point, it appears that giving in to one’s fantasies over reality is the only way to escape. Most people fear it, but they wish for it repeatedly and without hesitation. This moment is crucial to Luna Li’s new song, “Silver Into Rain.” With recordings showcasing her multi-instrumental skills on the harp, bass, keyboard, and more, the Korean-Canadian musician, née Hannah Bussiere, burst onto the internet and music scene during the pandemic, leaving a lasting effect on anybody who paused to watch. Li is currently getting ready for much more than 30-second clips that will tease the release of her debut album, Duality, which is scheduled to drop on March 4.
When Li creates “Silver Into Rain,” she taps into the unwavering tenderness of combining fantasy, reality, and suffering into a singular mixture. She then lets it bloom into a euphoric licking of delicate guitars and lush harmonies that makes you feel lost in it rather than disappointed. Adding to the track’s magical allure is rising British indie-rockstar Beabadoobee. The two bounce off each other in a confessional whisper that lets the story unfold. This is a fantastic combination since the three-minute track maintains its unbreakable indie-psychedelic mold even as it shifts into a celestial pop form.
