Songbroker Song of the Day: Aria 'Unravel'
Solo artist ARIA has fostered her talent for singing, dancing and performing since a young age. A driven and unique artist, ARIA has honed her super powers by adapting and diversifying, whether it was writing and recording the Auckland anthem ‘Friday’, in the shack with Homebrew, belting top Cs in the Festival Garden for Dr Colossus, crooning BVs for Teeks on RNZ or laying down vocals for Noah Slee at Red Bull studios, Berlin, ARIA has lapped it all up, slowly harvesting her rich experiences to build her own juicy, tapestry.
After spending three years in Berlin, ARIA is now home and channelling the eclectic, artistic influences she has gathered into this personal and vulnerable body of work. A collaborative musician at heart, ARIA is working alongside local producers including Abraham Kunin (Teeks, Home Brew) and Haz Beats (Miloux, Home Brew, Team Dynamite).
‘Unravel’ is an ode to vulnerability. The ethereal and melancholic vocals weave a soulful melody, soaring above a swell of strings, deep bass and grimy snare. Retrieved from her vault of songs composed while living in Berlin, ARIA worked alongside producer Abraham Kunin to bring it to life. Kunin’s producer chops are clearly at play when the captivating hook of ‘Unravel’ takes flight; a plea for connection and trust, it sways with a hopeful lilt.
