PIAO is seriously the pop artist you've been waiting for, and her new track is about to put you in your feelings. Fresh off her tour with Marianas Trench, this Shanghai-born, LA-based Berklee grad is making waves with her powerful voice and relatable lyrics that hit deep.
Her latest release, "Anticipatory Grief," is an emotional rollercoaster that dives into the bittersweet nature of memories and the inevitable change we all face. The song’s all about those small, everyday moments, like old dresses collecting dust or forgotten receipts, that suddenly become heavy with meaning as time passes. PIAO taps into the realness of watching someone you love grow older, holding onto the nostalgia, and struggling with the fear of losing them. It’s a total vibe of reflecting on life, love, and the passage of time, with her vocals bringing out every ounce of emotion.
The track is full of melancholic, reflective vibes, but there’s also this glimmer of hope. PIAO shows the complexity of grief, change, and memory while also making you feel that love sticks around, even when time moves forward. The way she ties the personal to the universal is wild-like, we’ve all had moments where we wish we could freeze time, and this song puts that feeling into words perfectly.
If you haven’t heard "Anticipatory Grief" yet, it’s time to get on it. PIAO’s not your typical pop artist, she’s bringing a whole new level of emotional depth to the scene. Throw this on your playlist, because this one’s going to have you thinking about life, memories, and all those little moments that really matter.
