Lyra Star is a captivating and fantastical pop performer known for her enchanting contortionist acts and otherworldly movement art. There’s an air of opulence and grandiosity to her soundscapes, draping everything in this luxurious and heavenly garb.
Drawing from her personal experiences and inner voice, Star blends ethereal melodies and profound lyrics to create a unique brand of electronic indie-folk/pop music. Her upcoming EP is slated for release in summer 2023, with the lead single “Scars” dropping on April 14th. It’s a piercing, incisive, and deeply moving ballad that’s bound to cut right through you.
Written during the tumultuous year of 2020, “Scars” is a reminder that even in the darkest times, we can find beauty and hope. Star’s lush vocals and haunting melodies are reminiscent of Imogen Heap and Tori Amos, while the pulsing electronic beats and atmospheric soundscapes create a dreamy and otherworldly ambiance. The title of the song took on a new meaning for Star when she faced her own medical scare, which left a three-inch scar on her back and temporarily halted her contortionist career. Despite the physical and emotional scars we all carry, Star’s music inspires us to choose self-empowerment over despair and rise above the darkness together.
