“Daysof8” is a creative burst into the sky of a DIY era. The experimental pop artist, singer-songwriter, and producer Nora Lilith has brought to us another daredevil’s entrancing, hyper-imaginative single, “Daysof8,” the title track of Lilith’s upcoming album. Symbolism in combination with storytelling and experimentation, “Daysof8” is out-of-the-world, challenging everything you know identities, genders, and art.
From the name to its underlying meaning, “Daysof8” encompasses sophisticated designs and captivating thoughts, ideas, images. A spinning coin, a half-revealed maze, evocate storytelling. The song slowly escalates into a lo-fi experimental pop soundscape with a hint of exotic indication.
8 days represents the days one is able to hold love energetically, while the number 8 has a vertical resemblance of an infinity symbol. The song dives deep into true love and duality in its sonics. “To me, true love is an act of extending oneself for the sake of another’s growth. This act is infinite- infinitely doable and experientially infinite. It also makes me think of symbols of duality and balance, like yin/yang, an interplay between two forces that are fluid and symbiotic,” the artist commented.
Nora Lilith has a complex, flavorful blend of influences and ornamentations into her own sound, floating between continents, resonating with something beyond our existence. Beyond the inspirations and influences from jazz, R&B, house in an experimental pop texture, her unique magic remains authentic and natural to her own expression and aesthetics, which could not be imitated or reproduced.
