Lyia Meta, a gifted Malaysian singer-songwriter, returns with NEXT, an album that promises to be as critically acclaimed and award-winning as her 2023 release Always You. Lyia Meta, known for her varied vocal range reminiscent of Cher, Bonnie Raitt, Sade, and Linda Ronstadt, explores modern pop, jazz, soul, and mainstream genres, showing her distinct style and emotional depth.
NEXT represents Lyia's musical progression, showcasing her dedication to both her profession and her inner essence. "Building upon my past while exploring fresh interpretations and emotional depths, this album is not just a continuation but a testament to evolution and progression in my musical journey," she tells me. Lydia firmly embarks on her next journey, collaborating with Los Angeles songwriter Denise Dimin, producer Bob McGilpin, and co-producer Gene Rabbai.
One of the album's first tracks, "Home to You," foreshadows a shift from her usual smooth jazz style, delivering a startling but beautiful scrapyard country feel. Fans can still expect a jazzy lounge ambiance in tracks such as All My Loving. Lyia's vocal diversity is on display throughout the album, as she explores many genres and pushes her creative boundaries.
NEXT is very personal, depicting Lyia's experiences, emotions, and goals. With countless prizes and distinctions already under her belt, this album serves as a definitive artistic statement, a watershed moment in her career. It's a Grammy-worthy release that showcases her passion and talent, and it's sure to captivate both old and new listeners.
With its innovative, diversified sound and Lyia's remarkable vocal capacity, NEXT is poised to make waves in the music industry. This record is more than just a continuation of her journey; it's a brave stride forward, embracing new possibilities and sharing her unfolding story with the entire world.
