Rising artist Liliana is a 18-year-old singer/ songwriter from Dublin. Liliana could not be more excited to release ‘Bad Dates’.
She recently released her third single ‘Waste of Time’ after the successful release of her previous single ‘Again’ last year. She has been working constantly on new music and has been dying to share it with the world!
Growing up with the shows of her time, artists such as Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato were the main inspirations in what she wanted to be. Named as ‘One To Watch’ by Spin 103.8 and Hot Press in Ireland, she has also had a huge amount of international radio airplay including Portugal, UK and USA. She recently supported New Hope Club in The Academy and played at the St Patrick’s Day Festival. Liliana is also studying Law in Trinity College Dublin.
After releasing ‘What are We Now?’, which is about confusion in an almost love and ‘Again’, which is about going back to somebody again, Liliana knew she wanted to release something that rebels
against your typical love song. ‘Bad Dates’ is a journey through a series of bad dates that only lead to even worse decisions. In the moment of realisation that this is a never-ending cycle of bad experiences, you vow to yourself that this HAS GOT to end. Therefore, I think this song is perfect for teenagers and young adults all around the world currently dating who can relate to the “not-so-great” dates in their life. I view this song as a “light at the end of the tunnel” moment when you start to see the harsh reality of your dates and poor choice in partners.
My own twist on the much-loved ‘Don’t Call me Up’ by Mabel and ‘GOOD 4 U’ by Olivia Rodrigo. Instead of crying over a bad date or being upset about how your love life is going, you decide this is going to stop and decide to live your best life!
Reviews
The 17-year-old Dublin singer-songwriter is back with the follow up to her 2021 debut single ‘What Are We Now?’. ‘Again’ has Liliana’s booming, soulful vocal power paired with an up-tempo rhythm and hard-hitting pop synths. Growing up with the likes of Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato as her primary inspirations, Olivia Rodrigo is her current favourite. An addictive chorus to boot, ‘Again’ is a certified banger about needing to leave a relationship behind when you can’t be friends. Hot Press
