two lipsKiana Longchase’s project doesn’t fit into any one genre. His music blends alternative rock, rap, and other influences, but what matters most is his approach to his lyrics.
Her identity as a Black and Indigenous woman and her upbringing in New Mexico are present in both her writing and the themes she explores.
As the first single from their upcoming album, “Die on Every Hill”, “PPL R” features high energy, distorted guitars and a rhythm that sounds unstable. It aims to capture the discomfort of modern relationships and the difficulty of maintaining a relationship at a time when everything feels disposable.
The songs focus on the process of understanding who the people around us really are. It is expressed through an honest perspective that avoids drama and instead reflects on relationships that change or fall apart. It also mentions family conflict and a widespread feeling of disconnection.
Additionally, the song also touches on the pressure of being perfect and how it can hold people back. Tulips suggest that trying to meet every expectation can leave you stuck and unable to move forward.
Musically, “PPL R” is rooted in a sound reminiscent of 90s alternative rock, but with a current edge. Lightfoot’s restrained production keeps the focus on Tulips’ voice and lyrics, a philosophy that carries directly into the visuals, where the music video mirrors the same feeling of undefined and unresolved relationships.
“Ppl R” builds on Tulips’ multidisciplinary foundation, serving as the latest chapter in a career that has already reached SXSW and internationally, while also pointing toward a debut album that expands its scope rather than defining it.
