Aziya shares new single, "crush (tom verlaine)"
East London-based musician and producer Aziya has returned with the brand new single, "crush (tom verlaine).
“‘crush’ is my response to a fear of falling for someone who looks like Tom Verlaine. It’s a reminder that sometimes it’s easier to avoid having a crush on someone out of fear they might lead me on, or worse yet…ruin my life," Aziya says. "I have a habit of putting my walls up pretty quickly so that I don't get hurt - it's a shame but hard not to draw conclusions from how someone acts online - sometimes enough for me to put my walls up even quicker."
Co-produced with frequent collaborator Josef Page "crush (tom verlaine)", comes on the heels of previous single "Party's Over", which followed Aziya’s second EP, LONELY CASTLES, which was released last year. The four track project included singles "atomic", "chain", the self-produced "wundagirl".
"crush (tom verlaine)" is out now.
