Illuminating in lyrical darkness is London-based artist and producer Tiiva, who has just dropped their newest single, ‘ Cellophane’. Co-created remotely with London singer/songwriter Polly Scatterwood during the depths of lockdown, the song is a reminiscent sunrise on a time when our ‘normal’ life felt like a dream. Speaking on this they said:
“I wanted to write something that felt euphoric and exciting, mirroring a time when dancing felt like a memory. There’s an honest fragility in Polly’s writing that really resonates and working together on this song has felt beautifully cathartic during a time when our horizons felt a lot smaller”
Polly Scattergood’s input on the new single came as a natural progression. Sharing more Polly said; “As soon as I heard cellophane ideas started to flow, the song has many layers lyrically. Ultimately it’s all about celebrating each other and the expansive richness that art and music can bring to our lives. I hope it makes anyone listening feel good…”
