Pop singer-songwriter Gillian Heidi shares her new single, “Moonlight,” out today on all streaming platforms. Guided by Heidi’s unmistakable vocals, “Moonlight” is a pensive ballad imbued with soaring harmonies and sparse, meditative instrumentals. “The song is about the vulnerability of first falling in love and the beautiful fear that comes with it,” Heidi writes. “It’s one of my most vulnerable and truthful songs. It was the first real love song I’ve ever written and it means a lot to me.”

Though just sixteen years old, Boston-native Gillian Heidi demonstrates a musicality wise beyond her years. With powerful, reflective lyrics, rich vocal chops, and clever pop melodies, her songs are relatable but never predictable. She chronicles life’s ups and downs, ebbs and flows, and trials and tribulations with thoughtful clarity, poetic eloquence, and a stirring soulful voice.

As it does, music essentially chose Gillian. Rather than waking up crying in her crib, she typically arose from slumber by singing. Inspired by her older brother, she picked up piano at just four years old, penning her first composition only a year later. With dad keeping a guitar around the house, she grabbed it at the age of twelve and taught herself how to play. Under the influence of everyone from Taylor Swift to Ella Mai, the teen singer-songwriter dove into assembling what would become her 2019 debut EP, Unfiltered.

Gillian Heidi’s new song, “Moonlight,” rounds out a year of steady single releases from the promising pop singer-songwriter. Cementing her sound with each new release, Heidi’s authentic brand of melancholic pop has resonated with fans and tastemakers alike. Already receiving early press looks from the likes of Sweety High, Tigerbeat, and EARMILK, as well as over 500K streams, Heidi is a certainly an artist to watch going into the new year.

Stay tuned for Gillian Heidi’s debut album, ‘3AM,’ out in early 2021.

The post Gillian Heidi Releases New Single “Moonlight” appeared first on Digital Buzz Now.

At only 16 years old, Gillian Heidi is definitely an artist to keep an eye on, and her R&B/pop sound is bound to make you obsessed, craving to hear more and more from her – trust us, it’s been known to happen!

Immediately, we were impressed by Gillian’s determination, at such a young age, to firmly grip the person she wants to be and follow through with her dreams. Having started writing music at only four years old, the creative part came naturally, though she does note an evident development and growth through constant exercise.

“Though I do think that some of my old music is pretty bad and cringy, I wouldn’t change a thing. Every step I’ve taken has helped me grow and evolve, especially with my songwriting. All of the mistakes that I’ve made have brought me to where I am today.”

We think it is exactly that “cringy” part that prevents so many people from ever following through with their dreams, the terror that they will make a mistake. But it is up to people like Gillian to see that it is only through our mistakes and our difficulties that we are ever truly able to become better people, as well as better artists.

With obvious influences such as Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and the Arctic Monkeys, Gillian is heavily bent on giving the world more than just a pretty sound. She talks to us about the common misconception that pop music lacks substance, and how she struggles and strives to change that.

“I think that a lot of people assume that pop music and its subsets tend to have lyrics that are devoid of meaning. Creating music that really means something is really important to me, and I always prioritize it. I am always trying to evolve and create something new and unique.”

The young artist regards creation as a continuous process, more than just a one-step sort of thing. She constantly talks about making music as a journey rather than a finite process, and while she focuses on growing and developing her style as she herself gathers more experience, Gillian also knows the importance of recognizing your own achievements. 

“I am finally able to create music that I really love, and I couldn’t be more proud. Live performance has also always been hard for me, so my first open mic was a pretty big deal,” she tells us, in the process of recording her first ever album. 

Lastly, Gillian understands the role of the modern artist, which often borders on entrepreneurship. She is active in social media and working hard to make a name for herself and build a loyal fan-base, both through her art but also her personality. 

If it is not evident already, we highly encourage you to check out this young lady’s powerful music.

Underscored by layered harmonies and full-bodied instrumentation, Gillian’s R&B-infused pop vocals take centerstage on “Desperate” as she sings of the guilt and thrill that comes with having a crush while in a relationship. “I think that ‘Desperate’ really sets the tone of the album,” she writes, “it was one of the first songs I wrote for the album and it’s one of my favorites.”

Gillian Heidi treats her music as a conduit for truth. Whether behind the piano or with a guitar in hand, the Boston-based artist chronicles life’s ups and downs, ebbs and flows, and trials and tribulations with thoughtful clarity, poetic eloquence, and a stirring soulful voice. Documenting the dissolution of a relationship, confronting the pains of addiction, or facing loneliness, she confidently conveys unbridled emotion with wisdom that belies her 16 years of age.

Gillian made her introduction last year with the independent release of her debut EP, Unfiltered. The lead single, “What It Felt Like,” impressively tallied 200K Spotify streams — no small feat for an unsigned act. 2020 is shaping up to be another banner year for the young songstress as she heads towards the release of her album, 3AM, due out later this year.
